The postal branches of the French CGT and FO unions declared on Tuesday that the proposed deregulation of postal services within the European Union takes this sector “one step closer to privatisation”.

At the same time, the SUD union claimed that the meeting of ministers in Luxembourg has effectively approved “the complete deregulation of the postal market”, while the CFDT accused the French government of scaling down its demands on this issue. The resulting compromise, said the union, poses “a threat to jobs in the postal sector”.
