Finnish export strike intensifies: A three-week stand against government policies

In a bold move that marks a significant escalation in labor disputes, Finland's trade union JHL has announced the extension of the ongoing export sector strike by an additional week, bringing the total duration to three weeks. The strike, which originally commenced on March 11, is a protest against what the unions describe as the Finnish government's anti-employee policies and drastic social security cuts. This industrial action, now set to continue until March 31, effectively halts the nation's exports, showcasing the depth of the workers' discontent.
