HELSINKI, Sept 27 (Reuters) - More than 4,500 Finnish food
industry workers will go on strike for a day on Oct. 3 to
protest the centre-right government's plan to make it easier to
lay off staff at small companies, the industry's union SEL said
on Thursday.
Among the 15 companies to be hit by the strike are Atria
ATRAV.HE , HKScan HKSAV.HE and Olvi OLVAS.HE , SEL said.
The proposed government bill would ease conditions for
firing workers by companies employing less than 20 people.
