The import and export of all ports in Finland has stagnated

Finnish industrial, logistics and power workers have agreed to extend the strike to a fourth week to protest planned labor market reforms, the president of the Finnish trade union association SAK said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

The newly announced strike is scheduled to start at 06:00 on April 1(in line with the expected end time of the current two-week strike) and will end at 06:00 on April 8.

"We are trying to negotiate and compromise with the government, but unfortunately these efforts have not been answered," said Jarkko Eloranta, SAK president. The union stressed that it is willing to suspend the strike if the government understands employees' concerns.

The strike has a wide range, and the business of ship loading and unloading, container delivery and delivery has been completely stopped. At the same time, air and land logistics will also be affected, and the impact will last until April 8.

About 7,000 Finnish union members, including dockers and industrial workers, are taking part in the shutdown, which has brought Finland's import and export business to a near total standstill.

That means container operations at Finland's major ports, including Helsinki, Kotka, Turku and Lauma, will be suspended for another week. Container terminal operators say the backlog will still take days to clear even if dockers return to their posts. 

芬兰所有港口进出口全面停滞

       据路透社报道，芬兰工会协会SAK主席周三表示，芬兰工业、物流和电力工人已同意将罢工延长至第四周，以抗议计划中的劳动力市场改革。

       新宣布的罢工定于4月1日06:00开始（与当前为期两周的罢工的预期结束时间一致），并将于4月8日06:00结束。

       SAK 主席雅科·埃洛兰塔 (Jarkko Eloranta)表示：“我们正在努力与政府谈判和妥协，但不幸的是这些努力没有得到回应。”工会强调，若政府理解雇员关切，愿暂停罢工。

       此次罢工范围广泛，船舶装卸、集装箱提货和交付业务全面停摆，同时空运和陆运物流也将受到波及，影响将持续至4月8日。

       包括码头工人和产业工人在内的约7000名芬兰工会成员正在参加停工，这使得芬兰的进出口业务几乎全面停滞。

       这意味着，芬兰的主要港口，包括赫尔辛基、科特卡、图尔库和劳马，其集装箱业务将再次暂停一周。集装箱码头运营商表示，即使码头工人返回岗位，积压的货物仍需数日时间进行清理。
