The Finnish Flight Attendants' Association (SLSY), which represents Finnair's
and Blue1's cabin service personnel, has submitted to the Association of
Support Service Industries a warning that industrial action may begin in the
form of a strike on Tuesday, 30 November 2010 if a solution is not reached
before then on an employment agreement issue. If it were to take place, the
strike would bring most of Finnair's flight traffic to a halt. 
The SLSY's previous collective agreement ended in April this year and
negotiations on a new agreement have been under way since February. Finnair
employs around 2,000 flight attendants.
