JHL members represent professional groups working in Lahti’s sports services, city theater, group administration, Facilities Center, and urban environment service area. AKT’s professional groups are involved, for instance, in the Lahti region’s public transportation. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by these labor strike arrangements.
Impact on Public Transportation and city services
AKT’s strike will significantly affect traffic operations in the Lahti region on Thursday. If possible, it’s advisable to prepare for alternative modes of transportation on Thursday.
Follow the updated announcements on LSL’s website. Additional information regarding the strike and the running schedules will be released in the announcement. Canceled and operational routes will also be updated on LSL’s journey planner once confirmed.
Parents will receive a Wilma message regarding primary education, and efforts will be made, if possible, to provide transportation for children to school, with potential reimbursement available afterward. School meals will be served as usual.
The City Orchestra has two concerts scheduled for Thursday, hoping that despite the labor situation, concert attendees will be able to attend.
Library material transportation will be halted, leading to potential delays in the arrival of items such as newspapers and reservations.
