Swedish paper-mill workers in job action

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 17 (UPI) -- Swedish paper mill workers concluded a two-day work slowdown Tuesday in support of striking Finnish paper mill workers.

Workers at 10 Swedish mills, all owned by Stora Enso, refused overtime Monday and Tuesday to support the Finnish Paperworkers' Union, which began a two-day work stoppage Monday, the Helsinki Sonomat reported.

"We have the same employers in Finland and Sweden," said one Swedish worker. "There is a danger that the employers will make the same demands here if they get their way in Finland."

Stora Enso was formed by a merger of Finland's Enso and Sweden's Stora.
