The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Shipyard Workers' Union's claim for damages against the Finnish Specialized Employers' Association. The court found that the employer association acted within its rights by organizing a strike in response to the union's refusal to negotiate, thereby negating the union's argument of illegality. Consequently, the court ruled that no liability existed for the damages sought by the union.
