The PSOE, a member of the La Laguna Government group, will present a motion at the next municipal plenary session to ask the Post Office to “cover as soon as possible the positions that have been becoming vacant, for the proper functioning of the postal service in our municipality” and “in support of the workers”, explained the Councilor for Finance, Economic Affairs and Security, Alejandro Marrero.
A motion that arises after the meeting held this week between the mayor Alejandro Marrero and the Councilor for Culture and Citizen Participation, Yaiza López, with the secretary of CC.OO. of the Postal Sector in the Canary Islands, Pedro Segura, and the general secretary of the Unión Insular de Tenerife CC.OO., Andrés Baute.
From CC.OO. have denounced a “shameful downsizing at the La Laguna unit”, since “currently, there are 18 sections that have not been covered, which is generating an unsustainable situation in the unit, which has been dragging a year-round average of 12 troops less and now it increases to 18 on the eve of the Christmas campaign”.
Councilor Alejandro Marrero added that from the City Council, in addition, “we have experience with Postregarding the communications that we make to the neighbors, in which we have also seen that the service is not being 100% as expected and we have had some small difficulty that demonstrates what the workers say”, for which he emphasized that “we have We must help and encourage everyone so that this service is endowed with the necessary human capital to provide an adequate service in a fundamental activity”.
Likewise, the mayor pointed out the importance of having “a good distribution service”, since it also affects “electronic commerce, which has allowed many companies in our municipality to make sales in other parts of the Island or the Canary Islands and Spain”.
Specifically, in the motion, in which the support of all the parties will be requested to make it institutional, Correos is urged “to guarantee the coverage of the necessary structural jobs in the La Laguna unit, today clearly insufficient, with job cuts with an annual average of between 10-15. It is necessary to complete 100% to provide coverage and guarantee a quality public postal service, with employment and quality rights”.
