The Labour Court dismissed the Finnish Airline Pilots' Association's claim for damages against Finnair Oyj regarding a pilot's work-related injury. The union argued that the employer failed to provide a safe working environment, while the employer contended the injury resulted from the pilot's own negligence and lack of proper training. The court ruled that the employer had fulfilled its duty of care and that the pilot's actions were the primary cause of the accident.
