Posted by | Sep 27, 2006 | |

Hundreds of health workers are today holding a 24 hour strike in a bitter row over privatisation – just as the controversy is set to be debated at Labour’s annual conference.

Workers at NHS Logistics, based at five distribution centres in England, walked out at 11pm last night for the second strike in a week in protest at a contract being awarded to German firm DHL.

Unison said the strike will lead to a shortage of some supplies being delivered to hospitals and GP surgeries across England.

The union has called on the Government to suspend the 10 year contract, due to come into force on October 1, and warned there were “growing concerns” about pay and conditions.

A separate dispute at DHL has blown up involving thousands of driver and other workers in a row over pay and jobs.

Deutsche Post World Net seeks patent for GoGreen

Posted by | Sep 26, 2006 | |

Deutsche Post World Net has filed for a patent for its GoGreen concept. The aim of the concept is to offer carbon-neutral shipping for DHL products for business and private customers, in order to cut CO 2 emissions. All CO 2 emissions generated in the transportation of GoGreen small parcels and packages are first calculated and then compensated for in the system. This compensation can be achieved through environmental protection projects and activities. As part of its environmental efforts, Deutsche Post World Net has introduced a system of carbon management within the Group. The system is comparable to the credit and debit system in financial banking; this carbon management process tracks the CO 2 emissions of GoGreen packages offsetting them against environmental protection projects.
