UPM will establish a new labor markets team which will start its activities in the beginning of December. The background to the decision is the announcement of the Finnish Forest Industries Federation to discontinue the collective bargaining in the Finnish labor markets at the end of the ongoing agreement period. UPM aims to strengthen the company’s own capabilities in labor market matters and company specific bargaining.
