Labour court dismissed union appeal against employer's refusal to grant collective bargaining agreement.

The Labour Court dismissed the appeal filed by the Finnish Journalists' Union against the employer's refusal to conclude a collective agreement. The union argued that the employer failed to negotiate in good faith, while the employer contended that no agreement was necessary given the specific circumstances of the media sector. The court upheld the employer's decision, ruling that the statutory conditions for mandatory collective bargaining were not met in this instance.
