Ferry services to the Estonian islands of Kihnu and Vormsi were disrupted Sunday following a strike initiated by ferry workers. The strike commenced at lunchtime after pay negotiations between the workers’ union and their employer reached an impasse. No resolution was achieved regarding improved pay conditions, prompting the union to authorize industrial action. The strike action affects transport to and from these smaller islands, potentially impacting residents and visitors. Further negotiations are expected, but a timeline for resolution remains unclear. This disruption highlights ongoing labor tensions within Estonia’s transport sector and the vital role ferries play in connecting island communities.
