The union representing Finnair pilots Sunday rejected a proposal by State Labour Conciliator Juhani Salonius aimed at settling job disputes. However, talks will continue.
The continuation of talks between Finnair and its pilots' representative means that no strike action will be immediately undertaken.
Pilots had threatened to begin a series of one-day work stoppages as of this coming Wednesday.
The pilots and Finnair are at odds over work-related issues such as pensions, the use of contract labour, days off and the number of pilots on flights. Progress was reported on all issues except the use of contract labour and pension terms.
Negotiations will resume on Wednesday morning.
