Analysis: the Postal collective bargaining in the battle are now employees of souls – worker unions have demanded millions of compensation

Postal collective bargaining in let's play now an exceptionally hard game. The postal and logistics union PAU reported yesterday that the Postal service demands and employees millions in compensation.

the indemnification liability associated with collective bargaining in 2015, when the Postal employees refused to instruct the workers to their tasks.

the mail kind of feared at the time that the temporary workers would come to work for the planned strike period, when their position at the negotiating table would be weakened.

When the employer removes the induction refusal of workers to jobs, in some outlets in other post types marched out.

the Mail has calculated that it lost because of a strike; their turnover million euros. This is what it now charges its employees for a representative PAU gets back.

But why the controversy has come back up right now?

Both sides try to tell the dispute from his own story. The post did not directly answer Excessive question whether the compensation requirement of time coincidence.

the mail from being told that compensation is required for three years, but ”PAU has refused its responsibility”.

– Mail is no option, when you seek compensation from the company for the damages caused, the company to write the email.

Postal workers are representative of the PAU has a different assessment of the situation. The president of the association Heidi Nieminen ”keep the mystique”, that the Post office returned to the issue in October.

– over a year ago we had a debate and after I was the owner of negotiations to the notes recorded by the Post office representative said the case stay on their part of it.

– the compensation requirement in the alternative left was now demanding compensation for individual workers, so we had to correct, that we tell them things, Nieminen said.

from the Post office denied that it had waived its claims years ago. Secondly, the Post said now that the company submitted claims for individual employees.

yle of the hands from getting damage compensation requirement, however, to read that ”the Post is considering a secondary in this letter, the proposed requirement in relation to the demands of each employee of this damage caused by”.

in layman's terms liable to could be the workers who participated in strikes in 2015.

Dispute date of reasons can, in turn, present multiple interpretations. The obvious of these involves the ongoing difficult collective bargaining dispute.

the Mail sent the claims of the PAU:an 11. October, when the dispute entered a difficult phase. Mail the then ceo of Heikki Malinen had resigned from the Post due about a week earlier, after the owner of the control of the minister of Sirpa Paatero (sd.) had intervened in the company's management plans for 700 employee's collective bargaining agreement with the exchange.

in the Background can also be a more mundane explanation. PAU made a couple of days before the employer's claim of appeal to the European court of human rights to the same dispute from another branch.

the Supreme court ruled in the employer's favor, although the court and the district court had decided the controversy in the workers ' favor.

the Post is also intended could be that the labour market table hit pressure. This controversy can disappear off the table when the agreement on the terms and conditions of employment can be found.

the fact that PAU will with publicity half months employer notice later, can also be seen as preparation for the industrial action. PAU has announced a two-week wide strike, which began about a week and a half away.

Now I have got to say in a statement that ”the PAU will defend the interests of their members in this matter too”.

Battle Mail workers in the strike willingness has accelerated the company within the action below.

the social network has moved a lot of pictures of Post offices in the info screen, which will be encouraged to come to work during the strike. Also Yle has received pictures to be seen.

the Workers is, inter alia, been told Thank you-fees, which the award criterion is ”a good customer experience and trouble-free service.”

at the Same time employees of the PAU:of weren bulletins the employer's plans and their impact on mail types of wages.

the PAU has, inter alia, the fallen, what kind of wage cuts collective bargaining agreement replacing would mean different tasks.

Now to post in the battle therefore employee strike willingness.
