Labour Court dismissed appeal against industrial union's decision to exclude business owners' association from collective bargaining.

The Labour Court rejected the appeal filed by Puuteollisuusyrittäjät ry against the Teollisuusliitto ry's decision to exclude them from collective bargaining negotiations. The appellant argued that their specific industry required representation, while the respondent maintained that the existing collective agreement covered all relevant sectors. The court ruled that the exclusion was lawful because the appellant did not meet the statutory criteria for separate bargaining representation under Finnish labour law.
