Posten Norway plans largest mass layoff in modern times, up to 2,000 jobs at risk

Norway's state-owned postal service Posten is planning to cut up to 2,000 of its 3,000 postal workers on very short notice, marking the largest mass layoff in the country's modern history. The move signals accelerating structural decline in traditional mail volumes and could have significant labor-market and political implications in Norway. The scale and speed of the cuts are unprecedented, but the underlying trend of postal decline is well-established.
