Finnsteve accusation Finnish union AKT to proclaim strikes illegally
The representatives of the workers inculpate Finnlines to have assumed wrong decisions
March 22, 2011
The terminalista society Finnsteve of the shipowning company Finnlines (Grimaldi group) has accused Finnish union AKT, that it represents the workers of the industry of the transport, to have assumed illegal initiatives proclaiming a strike of 24 hours of the workers of the societies of Finnsteve that operate in the port of Vuosaari, that it will begin tomorrow to hours 6,45, and the block of handling of all the ships of Finnlines that they always operate in all the Finnish ports for the duration of 48 hours with beginning from the 6,45 tomorrow.
In recent days Finnsteve has confirmed a reduction of the staff ( on 2 March 2011). The company has specified not to have other possibility because of lasting of the serious economic conjuncture that has already caused to Finnsteve losses for beyond 30 million euros from 2008. Moreover Finnsteve has accused AKT to have last week refused the proposal advanced from the company in the course of the svoltesi negotiations.
From part its Finnish union, that it has asked the restoration for job 40 places cancelled, has explained that these massive lay-offs are answered for a group of companies that is in profit and has emphasized that the workers accuse the Finnlines company to have assumed wrong decisions weakening the branch terminalistica Finnsteve, decisions that would have determined the loss of customers and turnover. According to the union, Finnsteve could act effectively in order to above all ask for the lay-offs in a moment in which the traffic of the goods is in increase thanks to the economic resumption.
