Post and Logistics Union PAU imposes an overtime ban on jobs of Posti and Flexo. The reason for overtime ban is political and is aimed at taking objection to the government's proposal to the deterioration of the protection against dismissal.
The overtime ban lasts two weeks and is in effect during 24.9.2018 at 00.00 – 7.10.2018 at 24.00.
The ban applies to all work covered by the Communications and Logistics and Information Logistics collective agreements. The scope of the overtime ban does not cover work related to public health and safety.
PAU cannot accept an arbitrary termination provision that significantly reduces the protection of dismissal of employees. The proposal of the government would also put employees in an unequal position solely based on the size of the employer firm.
- For the moment the proposal applies to firms with employees less than 20 but government parties have also been included in the proposal to extend the proposal to all companies. And I would not be wondering if the government would do it because the proposal might crash into the constitution if the workers' dismissal criteria are tied to what the size of the firm is at work, Heidi Nieminen, Chairwoman of PAU, says.
