(UPM, Helsinki, 22 April 2024 at 16:15 EEST) UPM and the Paperworkers' Union have agreed on first-ever business-specific collective labour agreements for five UPM businesses. The strike at UPM mills in Finland will end immediately and employees will return to work. The strike covered UPM Pulp, UPM Communication Papers, UPM Specialty Papers, UPM Raflatac and UPM Biofuels units in Finland. UPM will restart customer deliveries as soon as possible.

The conciliator submitted settlement proposals for separate collective labour agreements for UPM Pulp, UPM Communication Papers, UPM Specialty Papers, UPM Raflatac ja UPM Biofuels yesterday, and both parties approved them today.

We are very pleased that the parties have approved all settlement proposals and that the Paperworkers' Union's long strike ends. UPM and the union have made history together by agreeing on five business-specific collective labour agreements, which replace the paper industrys old agreement stemming from the 1940's. UPM's long-standing goal has been to take collective bargaining to a level where the conditions of the work are best known, i.e. the individual businesses. The negotiations lead to agreements that benefit both the businesses and the employees and strengthen the premises for success well into the future, says Riitta Savonlahti, Executive Vice President, Human Resources, UPM.

In the negotiations, many aspects of the contracts were viewed from a totally new standpoint. The process was long but, in the end, we were able to agree on terms of employment that take the needs and special features of our businesses into account. New terms enhance the productivity and competitiveness of the businesses and mills as well as ensure good terms for employees, too, says Jyrki Hollmn, Vice President, Labour Markets at UPM.
