Currently, the strike is planned to end March 24. However, some unions say they are already prepared to continue (and I’m assuming expand impact) after that date.
The current situation looks quite grim to an outsider, both from a worker’s right point of view and in terms of practical consequences.
I accidentally found out about the strike while looking at Finnair flight patterns as I have flights to Asia through Helsinki in late March. Long-haul flights are taking off from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport but stopping in Stockholm or Riga to fuel.
Will a continued conflict lead to a wider strike affecting airport ground services and security, effectively leading to no inbound or outbound flights from Helsinki from March 25 onwards?
How do you see this situation playing out?

Political assassinations hopefully.
The strike will end. Unions run out of money and they can’t make a new strike in a decade.
I think EK might just do Putins.
Usually the worst opressors create the largest reactions, like happened with Finland and NATO.
Usually we come to an agreement in Finland before things get really bad, but this time is a bit different. Right wing goverment is doing things that have not been done before and they seem very adamant in not negotiating at all. We will see.
