Spanish Correos makes more temporary staff permanent

Correos, the Spanish post office, has concluded an agreement with the main unions to make 4,000 employees on fixed term contracts permanent. The company says this culminates the process started in April 2003 to make 6,000 temporary workers permanent.
This comes a day after the high court ruled that Correos would have to make 12,000 temporary workers permanent. Management and unions will also negotiate a change in the way staff are hired, in order to adapt to the group’s limited company status, which it has had since June 2001.
