La Poste pursues restructuring despite employee protests
La Poste, the French national postal services group, yesterday presented planned changes to its courier activity, which represents 59 per cent of its total revenue, despite ongoing industrial action by employees. The group is determined to modernise now in anticipation of the deregulation of European courier services, which is expected to be complete by 2009, and future competition from its counterparts, particularly in Germany and the Netherlands.
