Due to Corona restrictions, even more people are ordering their Christmas gifts online. The publication is on its way.
At the moment, a lot of work is being done for the publication. Stores have to close at 7pm and on Sundays. This means that even more people are ordering their Christmas gifts online. Swiss Post has never been busier and is now warning of the consequences of a new shutdown.
50 hour weeks
From smartphones to scooters to schnapps, you can have everything delivered to your home these days. Since “Black Friday” at the end of November, Swiss Post has been delivering more than a million packages every day. An all-time high: 20 percent more than last year. Postmen currently have 50 hour weeks.
“Normally, we expect parcel volumes to decline after Christmas and for our employees to take a deep breath,” says Post media spokeswoman Léa Wertheimer. “This is important. Therefore, we ask federal and cantonal decision makers to take this into account when making their decisions.”
Employees in the attack
Swiss Post warns of the consequences of a possible second shutdown. Employees need relief. The Syndicom union also emphasizes that employees are on the attack. The number of packages has never returned to a normal level since March.
That’s why Syndicom welcomes everything that relieves employees. But the Swiss Post has to do something long-term. More measures are needed. We are demanding more permanent staff to meet the challenges, ”said media spokesman Matthias Loosli. “And shorter delivery runs are required to relieve delivery personnel.”
In addition, the union demands that this year’s extraordinary performance be rewarded with a salary increase.
