*) full-time work contribution
The reported figure refers to a full-time employee’s work contribution. For example, full-time work may have been divided in two between two leased employees.
The figures announced in advance are 380 (Vantaa logistics center), 150 (Lieto logistics center) and 320 (Helsinki postal center). Only a small percentage of the announced numbers has been realized.
Christmas is Posti’s key peak season, when the quantity of our total personnel in our busiest centers is increased. The figures regarding leased employees, sufficient for normal Christmas peak season, were released well in advance before the strike.
For Posti, as for all logistics companies, the use of temporary and supplementary employees is a part of normal operations. For Black Friday and the Christmas season late in the year, Posti has annually hired approximately 3,000 seasonal employees.
