The designated operator of Finland, Posti Jakelu Ltd, informs that the PAM Service Union has called a strike from 17:00 local time on 17 February to 17:00 local time on 20 February 2025. This strike may lead to delays of a few days in the handling of mail that requires customs clearance.

Posti Jakelu Ltd has advised that the strikes have ended and had very little effect on mail services in Finland. Mail services returned to normal immediately after the end of the strikes, and have been operating normally since then.

Posti Ltd wishes to confirm that the Finnish Transport Workers Union (AKT) has announced a strike in the transportation sector. In addition, the Postal and Logistics Union (PAU) has announced that it will  support the AKT strike with industrial action concerning the loading and unloading of trucks and trailers from 16th – 21st February 2023. 

Consequently, Posti envisages the following delays:

• approximately 5 days for parcels and EMS items sent during the industrial action;
• 5–14 business days for letter-post items and magazines;
• approximately 5 days for long-distance deliveries requiring transportation with heavier equipment between cities in Finland;
• 5–14 business days for printed products distributed to the door or mailbox.

Posti estimates that operations will return to normal on 27 February 2023. Designated operators are asked to consider sending parcels and EMS items outside the industrial action period when delays will be minimal.

If deliveries cannot be done owing to the strike, the items will be stored appropriately. Deliveries related to health and safety will not be affected by the industrial action.
