HELSINKI (Reuters) - Some 290,000 Finnish workers will begin two days of strike action on Thursday to protest against the right-wing government's planned labour market reforms and proposed cuts to the social welfare system.
Companies and labour unions said the strikes on Thursday and Friday were expected to halt much of Finland's air traffic, hit oil refinery output and close many shops, factories and kindergartens.
