Finland strike 'shuts down ports'
A widespread anti-austerity strike in Finland has shut down ports and disrupted flights in the country, news agencies have reported.
Finnair, the national carrier, has cancelled 16 domestic flights and delays are expected, according to the BBC.
Trains and city buses have stopped running, but ferries, including those to Sweden and Estonia, are operational.
Strikers are protesting against government cutbacks, including limits to benefits and overtime pay.
Talks on a collective agreement on wages and working hours collapsed, leading to the strike, Associated Press reported.
