Finnish airport workers' union calls 1-day strike Nov 25

The Finnish airport workers' union Monday announced a 1-day strike set for Nov 25 in solidarity with Finnish postal service employees who have been on strike for a week. "It will affect air traffic's ground services, meaning catering, technical services, cargo, security checks and consequently all airlines flying to and from Finland," Juhani Haapasaari, chairman of the Finnish Aviation Union, said. Finnair said it was still hoping the strike could be called off before next Monday. "It would have major impacts on air traffic," a Finnair spokeswoman said, adding the company was still in the process of estimating the impact on its own operations. Several Finnish employee unions have announced varying measures to support the postal service employees' strike. <br/>
