Description
Finnish postal and logistics services company Posti has initiated employer-employee negotiations in Finland to cut up to 236 positions. The negotiations concern employees in administration and service production. According to the company, in addition to the redundancies, there is a need for changing some permanent positions to part-time and temporarily laying off employees in service production.
Due to a decline in mail volumes, the company is reorganising its organisation to improve competitiveness and profitability. In the future, Posti will invest in new types of services, digitalisation and technical solutions.
