A wary atmosphere prevailed at the office of the harbour operator Multi Link terminals at the Vuosaari harbour in Helsinki on Wednesday evening. About 15 men gathered there following an appeal on Facebook. The aim is to start working at the port if the strike by stevedores continues. Harri Nordström, one of the owners of Multi-Link, tells the group that they are making history. “For the first time ever, Facebook has been used for this kind of thing. Remember, only the workers are on strike, not the work”, Nordström says. Multi-Link has already recruited more than ten employees for training at the harbours of Loviisa and Kotka.
