Finnair’s statutory employer-employee negotiation does not reach agreement on savings

All of the personnel organisations did not accept the employer's proposals on cost-cutting measures, by which 400 job cuts would have been avoided.It's a real pity that we will have to cut costs by reducing jobs. For all parties it would have been better to find savings by other means says Finnair's Senior Vice President, Human Resources Anssi Komulainen.

In the negotiations, the personnel organisations were presented at the beginning of September with three options aimed at achieving a cost-cutting target of EUR25 million. The employer-employee negotiations over other possible cost cutting measures continue during this week.
