The French post office, La Poste, has signed an agreement with the FO,CFDT, CFTC and CGC unions on the resolution of industrial disputes. The deal includes measures for the prevention of strikes and sets out the parameters of talks and the level at which they should be conducted. It also declares any management-union agreement to be valid provided it is supported by one or more unions which received at least 50 per cent of votes at the most recent union elections.

French postal operator La Poste has finally introduced its promised electronic registered letter service.

The post briefly offered such a service in August two years ago but quickly withdrew it saying the platform wasn’t strong enough. It said it needed to be “technically more ready.” The new service went live late last month.

La Poste, the French postal service operator, faced a call for strike action in the IT department of its financial services division. The trade union SUD PTT was protesting against the creation of a credit institution with the threat of extensive IT outsourcing.

It is reported that, out of 490 members of staff at the Gradignan site, 166 participated in industrial action.
