The Finnish Transport Workers' Union and the country's dozen largest logistics companies agreed Thursday to postpone a strike by a week.
The logistics workers' strike was rescheduled to begin next Thursday.

Esa Lonka, the government labour market conciliator, handed a settlement proposal to the union and the employer side and expects them to respond by Wednesday.

Most of the 1,000 logistics workers covered by the sector's pay and conditions agreement are expected to take part in the industrial action.

An AKT stevedore strike began Thursday morning, halting about 80 per cent of the country's foreign trade.
