Postal worker strikes disrupt mail deliveries in Finland

Postal workers in Finland on Monday staged strikes in several places across the country, and may cause massive delays of mail deliveries in the next few days. Hundreds of postal workers walked out of their works in Helsinki, Vantaa, Turku, Oulu, Jyvaskyla, Kemi and Seinajoki, to protest against Posti Group's outsourcing its services and forcing its staff members to train temporary workers. The walkouts may seriously affect mail deliveries in the coming days, said Finnish national broadcaster Yle. According to Finnish Postal and Logistics Union PAU, organizer of the walkouts, post offices use more and more temporary workers from outside instead of Posti Group's own employees.
