Strike threat pushes Finnair to compromise
[10.03.2009]
Late on Monday afternoon Finnair and the Union of Salaried Employees TU were able to arrive at a compromise in their dispute.
The compromise means that the strike of 700 technical salaried employees, due to begin on Tuesday morning, has now been cancelled.
In the negotiations, Finnair backed down on its plan to change the status of 11 salaried employees, which would have made them senior salaried employees. According to the TU, Finnair did not plan to change the tasks of these employees but only their status with the loss of certain allowances.
- Finnair Cargo Terminal Operations would thus have violated the present collective agreement, says TU official, Sirpa Lappi, who is responsible for the collective agreement with Finnair.
The other disagreement concerned Finnair's plan to
give notice to seven salaried employees. Finnair's technical salaried
employees rejected the plan but according to the compromise reached a few
salaried employees will lose their jobs.
