Labour Court dismissed union's claim for damages against employer for alleged unfair dismissal procedures.

The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Trade Union Pro's claim for damages against Metsäteollisuus ry regarding alleged procedural violations in the dismissal of UPM-Kymmene Wood Oy employees. The union argued that the employer failed to follow mandatory consultation steps required by collective agreements before terminating staff. The court found that the employer had complied with the specific procedural requirements and that the union's evidence did not substantiate a breach of law or agreement.
