After MS-Nokia Pact, Many Nokia Workers Walk Out In Protest

Posted by timothy on Friday February 11, 2011 @04:00PM from the let's-enjoy-the-brisk-finnish-air dept.

Mr. McGibby writes "After the announcement of the partnership between Nokia and Microsoft this morning workers voiced their concern with the deal by walking out of Nokia facilities. It is believed that as many as a thousand workers marched out today (or took the day off using flex time) so that the company would know that they don't believe the partnership is in their best interest, even after CEO' Stephen Elop's startlingly frank 'burning platform' memo earlier this week."
Looks like many investors felt the same way.
