Belgian Post employees, trade unions fear job cuts
Trade unions and employees of Belgian postal services company De Post/La Poste are afraid of possible closure of 260 full time jobs, it was reported on August 24, 2005.
Their concerns were raised after the decrease of the working hours, announced by the company in 800 of its 1,300 post offices.
The working hours decrease might lead to job cuts or to salary decrease.
(Editor’s note: De Post/La Poste laid off some 2,300 employees in 2004, almost twice compared to 2003, the Belgian News Digest reported on March 18, 2005. The company has some 37,900 full-time employees.)
