UPM-Kymmene Salaried Employees to Go on Strike in Finland

UPM has around 1,300 salaried employees working within, among other areas, the supply chain, finance and HR department in Finland.

“At this stage, it is impossible to estimate the exact impacts of the strike, but even a conservative estimate of the damage would be in the millions of euros. When the strike begins, we most probably must start to running down paper mills already within a couple of days,” said Jyrki Ovaska, president of UPM’s Paper Business Group.
