Finish Forest Industries Federation Signs Agreement with Unions

The FFIF has signed a collective bargaining contract with three Finnish unions representing 94% of forest workers in the country.  Paperiliitto, Pro and the Federation of Professional and Managerial Staff have agreed to a wage increase of 4.3% over the 25-month length of the contract.  The white-collar workers of Pro had held several strikes last spring during negotiations.
