	Finnland's running out of toilet paper Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

quote: Finnland geht das Klopapier aus Die langwierigen Verhandlungen zwischen Finnlands Gewerkschaft Papier und dem finnischen Forstindustrieverband, die seit Mitte Mai laufen und erst zu einem mehrwöchigen Streik, dann zu einer Aussperrung von Arbeitgeberseite geführt haben, haben in Finnland zu einem Papier-Engpass geführt. Dennoch kündigte der finnische Forstindustrieverband nach den gestern erneut festgefahrenen Gesprächen eine weitere Aussperrung bis in den Juli hinein an. Zeitungen immer dünner Derweil sind in den Geschäften die Regale mit Klo- und Haushaltspapier fast leer sowie Zeitungen und Zeitschriften in der Seitenzahl zusammengeschrumpft. Finnland importiert derzeit aus Russland und anderen europäischen Ländern beispielsweise Zeitungs- und Toilettenpapier, eine seltsame Situation für ein Land, das teilweise vom Papierexport lebt. Insgesamt befinden sich derzeit etwa 30.000 Arbeitnehmer im Ausstand. Nach Berechnungen der Forstindustrie bringt jeder Streiktag der finnischen Papierindustrie eine Einbuße von rund zehn Mio. Euro und einen Verkaufsausfall im Wert von bis zu 40 Mio. Euro. Source: http://news.orf.at/index.html?url=h...ker/185150.html

Summary: Finland's paper labor union and the paper industry are quarreling and workers are on strike. They even want to continue until July. Meanwhile the Morning paper reduces the number of pages and toilet paper is getting rarer. Finnland tries to import from Russian and other european countries. A strange situation for a country that builds on paper export.
On total there are 30,000 workers on strike and every day the paper industry loses 10m euros and 40m euros in sales.



I hope our finns here have enough paper in stock!

The Finns could always go the Arab route and simply wipe their ass with their hand. Think of all the money they'd save on toilet paper.

Those paper working bastards better get back to work soon. They have such a powerful lobby it seriously makes me think if the current labour laws etc in here are any good. It's ****ed up. The border customs or what ever you call them were also in strike couple of days ago. Can you believe that ****? YEAH. No one was checking passports who wanted to go to Russia etc. What the **** is that ****? That's one of the jobs that IMO should not have the right to go on a strike. If you don't like the job or benefits, then get the **** out this is important job to be done every single day so they should get sued for what they did. Next thing you know the police will go on strike.

This is what you get with the commie ****s. This crap will cost so much at the end, that the country will take a small hit from it, so much potential tax money going into trash bin. What can I say.. commie ****s..

In most Communist dictatorships there is/was no right to strike or even worker unions (why should they unite if they are in rule already - it must be reactionary!)
Stalinistic pawn.

Workers should have a right to strike and companies should have a right to hire replacement workers. Low skill jobs wouldn't be able to effectively unionize but high skill (nurses, pilots, metal workers) would. That sounds about right.
