Finnish workers, numbering around 290,000, have initiated a two-day strike to oppose the right-wing government's proposed labor market reforms and cuts to the social welfare system. The strike has caused major traffic disruptions, bringing public transportation to a standstill and significantly impacting air, metro, tram, and suburban train services. The strike has effectively paralyzed Finland's transport networks and has led to a near standstill in the country. The workers are protesting against efforts to cut unemployment, limit the right to strike, and weaken worker protections.
