Metalworkers' Union

The Metalworkers' Union (Finnish: Metallityöväen Liitto, Metalli) was a trade union representing workers in the metal industry in Finland.

Later that year, a new Metalworkers' Union was founded by the Social Democratic Party (SDP).

In 1969, the SAK and the SAJ merged, to form the Central Organisation of Finnish Trade Unions.

Metalli joined the new federation, and the two breakaway unions rejoined it.

While a narrow majority of members voted in favour of a merger, this did not reach the required three-quarters majority, and so the union remained independent.
