PAU has been informed of nasty messages about the threats made by Posti against temporary agency workers to pressure them to go to work during the strike. We emphasize that the strike involves handling and sorting jobs, so the strike also applies to all temporary agency workers. Any work not done during the strike is not the responsibility of the employee because the strike is a union action for which the union takes responsibility.
The Finnish Post and Logistics Union PAU’s board has decided to take collective action to combat Posti’s collective labor agreement shopping and the deteriorating of wages and working conditions. The strike will begin in the handling and sorting jobs on Sunday, September 1, 2019 at 10 pm and will end on Wednesday, September 4, 2019 at 00.00. The strike does not prevent work related to the health and safety of citizens.
Posti announced today that it will transfer its parcel sorting to a cheaper collective bargaining agreement negotiated by Medialiitto (Finnmedia) and Teollisuusliitto (Industrial union) 1.11.2019 onwards. The Finnish Post and Logistics Union PAU regards the state-owned company’s cheapening of work conditions as outrageous and responds to Posti’s actions through industrial action. Mail handling and sorting operations will be halted during 2.9. – 4.9. Employees will not arrive for shifts that begin on Sunday 1.9. after 10 pm. Employees will be returning to work on Wednesday 5.9. from 00:00 onwards. Subsequent collective action will be notified separately.
