The Finnish Air Line Pilots’ Association (SLL) representing Finnair pilots has rejected settlement proposals put forward by State appointed mediator Esa Lonka on Friday night.
“We are totally stunned and apologise sincerely for the inconvenience this causes to our customers. The SLL has now turned down three settlement proposals within in a year and a half,” says Anssi Komulainen, Finnair SVP, Human Resources. “The employer would have been prepared to accept all of these proposals. The strike that will now begin on Monday will cancel out all those savings achieved with great hardship by other employee groups.”
“Now we are forced to come up with totally new solutions in order to secure the future of the company,” says Komulainen.
