CCOO and UGT, majority in Post, report the company to the Labor Inspectorate regarding occupational health, “Since the colleagues are without furniture and take on insufferable workloads in the Christmas of Chaos campaign in Tenerife”. The organizational change, “without warning”, in the distribution units is one of the reasons for the general strike called in the public company on January 5, 7 and 12 “against the dismantling of the service, precariousness and cuts ”.
The sources explain that the new model – they have requested an urgent meeting of the Health and Safety Committee – entails “a reduction in spaces and people to make way for the profitable parcels of the Correos Expres subsidiary.” They want this “to be attended by subcontracted and precarious workers.” In Tenerife, all units will be affected, as already happened with those of Puerto de la Cruz and Taco- Barranco Grande when the Post Office announced a pilot test. Ten days have passed and the test has been extended to all. Both unions also denounce the imposition of XL delivery cars and scooters for postmen on foot in Tenerife, without a prior risk assessment, since “there are doubts about their safety.”
