University strike threat looms over Helsinki and Turku campuses

Three unions representing university employees in Finland have issued a strike warning for the University of Helsinki and the University of Turku, citing a breakdown in collective bargaining negotiations. The 24-hour strike is scheduled for Tuesday, 27 May, and would involve approximately 13,000 workers across both institutions. The announcement follows a similar one-day walkout at Tampere University last week.

The strike covers all jobs covered by the general collective agreement for universities.

The mediation is scheduled to continue today, Monday.
