A work stoppage stems from a contract dispute at the Consti Group concerning a major renovation job in downtown Helsinki. The Electrical Workers’ Trade Union charges that the Consti Group, who bills itself as the leading construction company specialised in renovations, has illegally cancelled a contract for refurbishment of the Scandic Continental hotel. The Electrical Employers Association (STTA) considers the strike to be unjustified and illegal.
