Finland Post to cut staff

Finnish national postal services provider Suomen Posti started layoff talks due to a planned restructuring of its office network, the company said on July 5, 2004. The Finnish post announced in May 2004 that it planned to streamline its office network in the next few years. The restructuring of the office network will be carried out in stages until the end of 2006. The move will enable the company to secure the jobs of its permanent staff. The layoff procedure will continue during the next two years.
