Summary:
Finnish banks started a new two-day strike on Thursday, 4 January, as the parties did not reach agreement in settlement negotiations. The previous strike was held last week. The finance industry strike is expected to affect customers similarly to last week’s strike. Most branches are closed and other services are limited. However, a new twist to the strike that begins on Thursday is that the ICT industry supports it so that they do not fix problems in bank systems during the strike. Banks inform their customers about the strike’s impacts on their websites. The customers are advised to prepare for slower services and longer waiting hours, In addition, meetings may be rescheduled.
