Le Figaro (Paris): “After a day of strike action on 20 September, French unions FO and CFDT representing employees of La Poste have called for a national week of action from postal workers from 24 to 28 September to protest against the closure of rural offices and the cutting of low wage earning jobs. Secretary of state for industry Christian Pierret leant his support to union fears at the end of last week, stating that La Poste was duty bound to constantly improve its client services and not lessen them. La Poste’s management has confirmed its wish to maintain a presence throughout the country.” (Source: Financial Times)
