Around 40 employees lose their jobs – NRK

Transportkomiteens recommendations to the Parliament is that it must save money and A record must away, writes VG. 550 employees will lose their jobs in the Mail on a national basis.

– Around 40 postansatte will lose their job on postterminalen at Borgeskogen in Stokke, says kretsleder Ann Elisabeth Wirgeness in the Mail – and kommunikasjonsforbundet to NRK.

– Terribly hard to find a job

That the A record bust means that the production of the snail mail will be moved over to the Østlandsterminalen, Bodø and Tromsø.

THE YOUNG FIRST: Ann Elisabeth Wirgeness in the Mail – and kommunikasjonsforbundet says that people are very worried at Borgeskogen. – Nedbemanningen will first and foremost hit the young, ” she says.

today, there are nine brevsorteringsterminaler in Norway. It means that 550 employees lose their jobs in Trondheim, Molde, Stavanger, Bergen, Glasgow and the Stokke.

I think that it is kjempetrist. It is terribly difficult to obtain new jobs in the Post, because the Post has been in transition for many years. They have laid down the post office and it happens things all the time, ” says Wigerness.

She is not surprised Transportkomiteens unanimous recommendation.

– This we have heard about for a very long time, so I don’t think that anyone is surprised. But it hit us very hard when it first comes, because we are good at sliding it from us, ” says Wigerness and adds that she understands the basis for the setting.

So the situation is, there is little probability that the employees will be able to find a job in the Post, believe Wigerness, but says that they should help those to find jobs in another labor market.

– A natural step

FEWER SEND LETTER: – Only in the year have brevvolumet fell by 12 per cent, says the Officer in the Post Norway, John Eckhoff.

the Officer in the Post Norway, John Eckhoff, says that this has been desired from the Post Norway’s side because brevvolumet has fallen by 50 percent since 1999. The last four years the volume fell by 24 per cent.

This has happened because of the technological development. Now, communication takes place in a completely different way; the bills are paid through online banking, e-mails are preferred to letters, digital mailboxes takes over.

” When we see the fall in brevvolumet the last 15 years, so something must be done. It is to do A-post and B-post to a feed, it’s the most natural step for the Post Norway, ” says Eckhoff.

But the Post Norway is known for great adjustments, according to the pressesjefen.

As a group, we’ve reduced the number of employees with thousands of people each year for the last few years without having had labor conflicts. We will continue the good cooperation with employee organisations and trade union representatives also in this realignment.
