Milk shelves empty, but beer remains – this is what’s on the shelves in Finnish shops now
We are monitoring the situation in stores across Finland. In the logistics sector, the strike started on Monday and will spread to stores on Wednesday. Both strikes will last for three days.
The strike in the retail sector started in the logistics sector on Monday morning and workers in shops will go on strike tomorrow, Wednesday. Both strikes will last for three days.
– The best advice is to work as normal,” says Luoto.
According to Luoto, there may be changes to the opening hours of shops. Stores may have to limit their opening hours either at the beginning or at the end.
Differences in stores depend on the type of workforce to run the trade.
– The main message is that the shops will be very open and there is enough food for the Finns.
We went to Finland to see how there is enough stuff in stores today. The pictures of the story were taken on or before lunch.
Helsinki
The shelves are pretty good. In the morning, the reporter visited the S-Market Circle House and in Kamppi in Lidl, Aleppa and K-supermarket.
Hämeenlinna
Milk shelves were expected to be supplemented at Tiiriö’s K-Citymarket.
Joensuu
Joensuu is well offered and according to the trading workers interviewed by YLE, the shelves are steadily more filled, so the situation is not much different from the ordinary.
Jämsä
There was still plenty of stuff on the shelves in the Jämsä S-Market. The bread shelves were full and ready -to -eat foods were still very available. For example, eggs, fresh juices and curds were missing.
Lahti
The bread bar was almost empty in K-supermarket in Hollola. S-market Jalkaranta also had a deficiency in the bread selection and in some other products. There is enough toilet paper.
Kari Luoto, Managing Director of the Association of Commerce, says that the goods have been purchased in the stores in advance and larger items have been ordered. If a product is temporarily runs out, there is probably a replacement product on the shelf.
It has been found in the union that Korona-time hamstraus trained stores to better prepare in advance. Consumers, on the other hand, noticed that the products did not run out, so the purchasing behavior calmed down.
This week, the strike will be on logistics centers, but Luoto recalls that some of the store products will come directly as local deliveries.
