HELSINKI, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Finland's Transport
Workers' Union AKT on Tuesday said it had reached an agreement
with employers over wages for lorry, dustcart and fuel tanker
drivers but rejected a deal for bus drivers who will go on
strike from Wednesday.
Following the agreement, AKT immediately cancelled plans to
expand its strike to freight transport drivers, while bus
drivers will join dockyards workers in strike action that began
on Feb. 15 and has blocked exports in all Finnish ports.
The bus drivers' strike, which will begin in the early hours
of Wednesday, entails difficulties for public transport users
across the country and especially in the Helsinki region where
most bus services will be cancelled.
