Teippar’s Layoff Warning Amid Unabating Government Reform Strikes: The Urgent Need for Dialogue and Equal Participation in Savings Talks.

As the strikes against the government’s reforms continue, businesses like Teippar are facing significant challenges. The president of Teippar, Sakari Laukkanen, has issued a layoff warning to his entire staff on Friday, with an estimated two or three out of eight workers at risk of being let go. The strikes, which were originally planned for two weeks, have now been extended to at least four weeks until April 7th.

The strikes have had a profound impact on the activities of entrepreneurs and the industrial sector in particular. Laukkanen believes that all stakeholders need to participate in discussions about fixing the economy and hopes for concrete suggestions from employees on how to handle the situation. He emphasizes that strikes against a democratically elected government are not the solution and stresses the need for dialogue between all parties involved.

The strikes have led to order cancellations and delays in material delivery at Mainostehdas Teippari, affecting many of its industrial customers. Laukkanen compares this situation to the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 when supply chains were disrupted due to travel restrictions and lockdowns. He feels that if the strikes continue, costs could be significant and result in further layoffs for businesses like Teippar.

In conclusion, Laukkanen is calling for equal participation from everyone in the savings talks and hopes for an end to the strikes as soon as possible. He believes that dialogue is key to finding a solution and avoiding further damage to businesses like Teippar.
