The worktime patterns demanded by Kemianliitto are already operating in the other Nordic countries and in some Finnish industries, but the chemical employers were intransigent on this issue. The paper workers, too, have major current grievances. They want tighter restrictions on the use of subcontractors, shorter working hours and a significant pay increase. We will ensure full international support for their campaign. We particularly applaud the rapid response of our Swedish colleagues.
Unity is the only way to preserve and improve the workers' gains.
