All international shipping ports in Finland are closed for two weeks

Recently, Maersk issued an urgent notice, saying that the Finnish Transport Workers Union (AKT) plans to strike from March 11 to March 25, which will force all Finnish ports to close for two weeks. The strike will affect the operation of all Finnish ports, and will also have a wide impact on Finnish industry and service industry.

The strike will last from 6am on March 11 to 6am on March 25. This means that all goods planned to pass through Finnish ports will be seriously affected during this period.

According to foreign media reports, the strike was organized to oppose the labor legislation amendment proposed by the Finnish government, which aims to stop the transportation of goods at ports and disrupt the freight railway service. The agency estimated that about 7,000 employees will take part in the strike.

For the strike, industry associations such as Finnish Forest Industry, Finnish Science and Technology Industry and Finnish Chemical Industry strongly criticized the strike as irresponsible. Closing the port for two weeks is such a draconian measure that these companies will no longer be able to make up for the losses caused by it. The joint statement said the strike posed a serious threat to Finland's economy and caused irreparable damage.

With Finland's industry shrinking, the strike could lead to further job cuts and send the wrong signals to potential foreign investors, such as reduced orders from export companies and shrinking output. Industry associations say Finland is in recession, but the Norwegian, Swedish and Danish economies are growing, adding that the current announcement shows the need to limit Finland's right to strike politically. 

芬兰所有国际海运港口关闭两周

       日前，马士基发布紧急通知，称芬兰运输工人工会(AKT)计划于3月11日至3月25日举行罢工，此举将迫使芬兰所有港口关闭两周。此次罢工将影响芬兰所有港口的运营，还将广泛影响芬兰的工业和服务业。

       罢工将从3月11日上午6点持续到3月25日上午6点。这意味着在这段时间内，所有计划通过芬兰港口的货物都将受到严重影响。

       据外媒报道，这次罢工是为了反对芬兰政府提出的劳工立法修正案而组织的，其目的是停止港口的货物运输，扰乱货运铁路服务。机构估计，大约有7000名员工将参加罢工。

       对于罢工，芬兰森林工业、芬兰科技工业和芬兰化学工业等行业协会强烈批评新一轮罢工是不负责任的。关闭港口两周是一项非常严厉的措施，以至于这些公司将无法再弥补由此造成的损失。联合声明称，此次罢工对芬兰经济构成严重威胁，并造成不可挽回的损害。

       在芬兰工业萎缩的情况下，罢工或导致进一步裁员，并向潜在的外国投资者发出了错误的信号，如出口公司订单减少，产量萎缩。行业协会表示，芬兰陷入衰退，但挪威、瑞典和丹麦经济却在增长，并补充说，当前的公告表明有必要限制芬兰的政治罢工权利。
