Countdown begins for post office closures
The list of 700 Austrian post offices to be closed out of the 2,300 currently in operation has now been fixed. The staff affected were informed by letter last weekend, and the employees were also invited to hold talks with Osterreichische Post, the post office operator, this week.
The postal union said the company was acting as though there was still room for negotiation, when in actual fact nothing could be changed now. Burgenland and Lower Austria will be the most affected by the closures.
