The strike emptied bread shelves in cello grocery stores
Industrial action|Bakery workers started a six -day strike on March 11.
Bakery strike Has been seen on store shelves for the rest of the week. For example, on the shelves of Sello's big grocery stores in Espoo, on Sunday, the last evening of the strike was much empty.
Familiar light bread or rye bread was not on the shelf when Aaro Tirronen Came to get them from Prism.
« I have to see if I find something else, » Tirronen says. “I knew about the strike, so I bought rye bread early in the week. There is still little left at home. ”
The reason is the cause of the bakery workers, which began on Tuesday 11 March and ends on Sunday evening.
As a cause Collective bargaining negotiations in the strike are on the strike, which twist, for example, working hours and shifts.
“Making night work mixes the daily rhythm. You have to sleep during the day, even if you have to do other things and even take care of the children if there is a family. It has to get a significant compensation, ”says Tirronen.
Aaro Tirronen defends employees' rights with strikes.
Tirronen has not particularly followed the bakery negotiations, but he considers it, in principle, good for employees to defend their working conditions and, if necessary, strike. The general salary level has not risen with other prices, he recalls.
“Yes, you can go to the strike when it comes to warning in advance. That's what it must be. ”
Adjacent At Citymarket, bread shelves are almost empty. Samantha Leon I was surprised to see the shelves.
He has not heard of the ongoing strike, but the surprise doesn't hurt him.
« Yes, one can not eat bread, » Leon says. « It is very important that employees are able to fight for their rights. »
Samantha and Raul Leon came looking for rye bread, but the shelves of Sello Citymarket were almost empty on Sunday. Elira, who was sitting in the wagons, also included the shopping trip.
Strike has touched bakeries from Fazer, Lantmännen and Vaasan.
According to the Finnish Federation of Finnish Food Workers (SEL), the strike applies to nearly 2,000 employees.
Work dispute will continue on Monday. Sel has already given warning From a new strike. Unless an agreement, the same bakeries would go on strike for four days at the turn of March and April.
Workers' The representative is negotiating new collective agreements with the Federation of Finnish Food Industries (ETL).
The big controversy is the night work supplements.
At the beginning of March, the government overturned the bakery work law, which guaranteed bakery workers to double the night. If the same thing is not recorded now in the collective agreement, employees' salaries may drop well.
Employers' ETL has said that one hundred percent night work supplements could be taken into an agreement, but only so that something else would be pinned accordingly.
The solution should be cost -neutral from the point of view of the collective agreement, says ETL leader Anne Somer.
He compares the future agreement with the old agreement and not what employers have practically paid to their employees before the law is annulled.
Side It is also afraid, for example, that working hours could be placed more freely in bakery in the future so that the working week would be longer and the day off could be anything.
The unions also negotiate collective agreements for meat, dairy and brewery workers. The employee side fears, inter alia, that temporary labor can be used freely in the areas covered by the contract in the future.
The Sello Prisma bread shelf had a sign that announced that there may be delivery difficulties at the time of the strike.
