About twenty Correos employees in L'Hospitalet displayed a banner to denounce the worsening of working conditions, arguing that the city requires 30% more staff to operate efficiently.
The protest is part of the negotiation of the new state agreement and criticizes the alleged non-compliance with the Postal Law, which mandates a maximum three-day period for the delivery of documents and ordinary mail.
“"Correos should increase hiring, and not only does it fail to do so, but it does not replace workers who are on sick leave, who have retired, or who are not working for whatever reason."
One of the most pressing issues in L'Hospitalet involves delays in notifications regarding the new waste tax, which could result in surcharges for citizens unable to meet the deadlines specified in the notices.
“"More than 130,000 notifications have arrived, and I am currently delivering some with a month's delay."
The CGT union also criticizes the Correos management for prioritizing parcel delivery and digital commerce, to the detriment of the essential public service of ordinary mail, warning that private sector precarity may affect the public sector.
