Finnish Flight Attendants' Association Threatens Strike

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.
