Labour Court dismissed union's appeal regarding employer's right to terminate collective agreement without prior consultation.

The Labour Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Finnish Wood and Special Industries Federation against the employer's termination of the collective agreement. The employer argued that immediate termination was necessary due to severe financial distress, while the union contended that prior consultation with employee representatives was legally required before such a drastic measure. The court ruled that the employer's urgent financial situation did not override the statutory obligation to consult, thereby upholding the lower court's decision to reject the union's request for reinstatement of the agreement.
