On 1 June 2015, unions from eight countries where Huhtamäki has production sites established a world-wide network, a sort of forerunner to a World works council. Central management also participated in the meeting and gave a presentation. There was a clash when it came to address the situation in the USA.

Central management however did not wish to discuss the topic in Helsinki and left the meeting. European companies often do not comply to the social standards prevalent in Europe in their sites in the USA
