A possible strike by bus and lorry drivers affiliated with the Finnish Transport Workers Union (AKT), which might start on Sunday evening, would disrupt the winter holiday plans of many Finns.
Next week schools in the south of Finland are closed for the annual winter holiday, also known as the “skiing holiday”. In addition to long-range buses, the stoppage would bring local and regional bus services to a halt in many areas.
Mediation efforts continue in the dispute on Thursday. If no actual settlement is reached in the dispute, there will be attempts to persuade the union to postpone the strike for two weeks.

- Busworker
- Busworker is a resource for trade union activists who work on the buses in Britain. If you are part of the fightback, then Busworker is for you. We want it to be a place for discussion and debates. We are all agreed on making the campaigns across the country as effective as possible, defending and extending democracy in the unions, fighting racism and the BNP and offering solidarity to other workers who are fighting back. Busworker is not in opposition to the official unions, but it does offer another place for activists to speak to each other. We will support every positive move by the unions, but also offer our own ideas on the way forward. We hope you enjoy this site and will send your reports, ideas and photos to busworker@gmail.com
