the postal strike is even closer, because despite the efforts of employers Palta and the Postal and logistics industry employees union of the PAU have not converged in collective bargaining.
the two Sides are again in the morning conciliator Anemone Piekkalan house looking for controversy way out.
It is at the core of the package sorter of tes-terms of the agreement.

Pau also Estonia is becoming employees practice these tasks.
Ainasojan the Postal service is committed to the fact that the staff does not increase the previously already indicated.
the temporary labor total personnel is about one-tenth.
– the amount of stick, this is not meant to exceed.
the Staff is, of course, less than usual, if the strike began.
Ainasoja says, that even with a small number of persons packets can be dealt with easily, because the packet handling is generally good.
Packets are delayed by many days
If the strike begins next Monday and lasts notified two weeks, the package travel delay home country for several days.
we Can talk about a number of days of delay of the packets, if the strike takes place as notified.
the Same is true abroad packets sent, but Ainasoja says that a lot depends on how the next couple of days-negotiations are progressing. The data packet flow specified as the negotiations progress.
the Letters are there, maybe next year
a letter in the mail instead of the delays can be weeks. And at worst they may be there until next year.
– Paper communication is more challenging. Can be talking about often after weeks of delay, where the distribution office is closed, and there is not to get letters and postal cards delivered, delays can be several weeks.
the Assessment changes depending on how much mail will become a distribution center for processing. Customer can facilitate the processing of careful labelling.
– If the address is clearly written, so that the sorting machine can read it easily, it speeds up the processing distribution centers. Important is, that the distribution centers do not need to clear addresses, Ainasoja winked.

– Consumers hoping to composure. The post to update its website twice a day, where can you check the most common disorder of the situation during the strike, Ainasoja tell
Magazines and newspapers you will likely be distribute
If the strike would end within two weeks, however, it will take some time before everything returns to normal. If the strike lasts more than two weeks, its effect on postal parcels and letter of transportation will be re-evaluated.
Ainasoja believes that parcel delivery has time to recover before christmas, if the strike is prolonged. Christmas baskets and packages the Postal company to take care of as well as possible, and christmas mail not in danger, if the strike does not stretch.
the journal of the early distribution is not industrial action in the circuit, and it to treat many distributor. Early distribution strike can have effects in areas with post basic products distributed together with newspapers.
the Mail during the day portable magazines and newspapers you probably remain without sharing.
