Finnish flight attendants' association (SLSY) threatens to begin strike on 30 November 2010


The Finnish Flight Attendants' Association (SLSY), which represents Finnair's
and Blue1's cabin service personnel, has submitted to the Association of
Support Service Industries a warning that industrial action may begin in the
form of a strike on Tuesday, 30 November 2010 if a solution is not reached
before then on an employment agreement issue. If it were to take place, the
strike would bring most of Finnair's flight traffic to a halt. 
 
The SLSY's previous collective agreement ended in April this year and
negotiations on a new agreement have been under way since February. Finnair
employs around 2,000 flight attendants.
