The Finnish postal services company Itella plans to cut 188 jobs by the end of the year. The company had initially planned more redundancies, and the total number of job losses might be reduced further before the year is out. Co-determination talks on the future of sorting personnel concluded on Monday.
The job cuts are to take place in five communities. The communities most affected will be the company’s facilities in Helsinki (47), Lappeenranta (54), and Turku (81). Four people are to be let go in Mikkeli and 22 in Seinäjoki. The company had previously expected to cut 380 people in eight communities.
A number of temporary redundancies are also planned for this year. Itella says that it hopes to implement the moves as far as possible without actual terminations, through retirement arrangements, shifting employees to other jobs, and other similar moves.
The need to cut personnel stems from rationalisation in mail sorting and the introduction of new equipment. Itella is concentrating its mail sorting operations on four cities - Helsiinki, Tampere, Kuopio, and Oulu.
