Factory managers at Nokia's Salo factory are on strike. Lower level workers are taking care of their jobs. Great way to show that your job input isn't really needed.

When I flew into Helsinki two days ago all the baggage handlers were on strike. We stayed on our plane for an hour before the two guys who were operating the stairs made their way to our plane. We waited another 1 1/2 hours to get our luggage. It is frustrating but I will always stand with workers! Power to the people!

- I've heard that the employer has even threatened the metal and the senior staff members. The employer has asked them to perform managerial tasks. If you do not agree to do another job, the employer keeps the refusal of work.

Leppänen will complain to the employer's actions.

The issue behind this strike seems to be what job titles are under witch union's contract. So this is just about one union trying to get more power. Sad and redundant strike.

According to the labels on N900 back, devices are being produced in South Korea. Unless factories' workers are striking there...
