Eastern European Trade Unions strategize on postal liberalization
Representatives from nine trade unions in Eastern Europe who will have to liberalise their postal markets by 1 January, 2013 gathered in Bucharest (2-3 February 2012) to discuss postal liberalization.

Speakers from trade unions in Western and Northern Europe where postal liberalization has already happened, such as Sweden, Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands, spoke about how liberalization affected postal workers' jobs and how unions can prepare their members for the upcoming changes and minimize the adverse effects.

Participants discussed adding social regulation to postal laws, organizing members in the new competitors and having strong collective agreements.

This seminar was part of the Trade Unions Preparing for Change project that was funded by the European Commission. Two more workshops will take place in Croatia and Belgium

CENTRAL JCA MET ON 11.01.2012 UNANIMOUSLY DECIDES TO GO AHEAD WITH THE INDEFINITE STRIKE MAKE THE STRIKE CENT PERCENT SUCCESS

We are in receipt of encouraging reports from various circles and divisions about the mobilization by grass root level workers and leaders for the total participation of employees in the Indefinite Strike from 17th January 2012 as per the call of Central Joint council of Action (NFPE, FNPO & GDS Unions)

Inspite of our vehement opposition the Postal Board is adamant on implementing Mckinsey consultancy reforms (L1, L2) in RMS. Further regarding closure/merger of Post offices, they are violating the earlier assurances and going on justifying the merger of Post office. On other demands assurances given in July 2011 is repeated and no result oriented action is forth coming.

In these circumstances the Central JCA meeting held on 11.01.2012 has unanimously decided to intensify the strike preparations and go on indefinite strike from 17th January 2012.
