Trade union SKEI has organised warning strikes in the electro industry, the metal industry, basic materials and foundries, employing about 14,000 employees in more than 100 companies. The warning strikes took place on 23 and 24 January and were a reaction to low wage offers in the electro and metal industry and employer hesitation to even start collective bargaining in the other branches. SKEI has said that due to the absence of a wage agreement in 2012, they are demanding a 6.5% increase in electro, 7.5% in metal and 9% in basic materials and foundries.
