Correos will facilitate the departure with imprisoned casualties of 2,100 officials over 60 years from next July

The idea of ​​the company is for this process to begin immediately. According to the document to which this medium has had access, what Correos has proposed to the unions is that the Adhesion period already opens on April 7in less than a month, and remain open until April 24, just after the Holy Week. The planned period to make the voluntary leave of excess was opened on July 1 to December 31 with the idea that the departure of the first batch of those 2,100 postal officials can be substantiated this year.

The conditions offered to the officials who want to leave the company will be identical to those already offered in the last process of this nature addressed in April 2023, although on that occasion it was much more modest than the current one. This is one of the main friction points with the unions, which require the company to improve the conditions with respect to those offered in the last processes.

The issue is critical because the voluntary leave plan will not only reach this year but will extend for 2026 and 2027, which will make workers eligible that today are 57 years but that could reach the last exercise of the plan already in the 60s. The objective is to facilitate the encouraged exit but of the entire postal template that has the status of an official, composed of about 2,800 workers, of a large majority of them.

The CSIF union has demanded that the company in a statement “the maximum transparency in this process” and has advanced that it will require all the information about it to meet the deadlines as established in the proposal proposed by the company, while CC.OO. and UGT have made special emphasis on the improvement of the conditions that the company intends to offer employees to take advantage of the program.

Gain flexibility

The reduction of official personnel to the postal service is a strategic objective of the company’s dome for several years ago. It is understood that the rigidity of its working conditions is a ballast when applying the labor flexibility that both Correos, the SEPI and the Government consider fundamental to successfully boost the diversification of the company and especially the adaptation to the need to compete in a environment as competitive as in which the state postal operator can be.

In fact, the company has decided to prioritize the departure plan of the official personnel Regarding the pre -retirement plan for labor personnel. In principle, all this should be agreed before March 15, but the company has understood after verifying the complexity of the open negotiation process and the subjects to be treated that should be expanded more by this negotiation process at least until June 30.

Correos has promised to deliver to the unions present at the table, CC.OO., UGT, CSIF and free union, a proposed document in the course of the first three weeks of April to open a negotiation process that will last until June 30.

There, issues such as the pre -subsidy plan, the flexibility of the workday to increase the activity in the afternoons and on Saturdays or the incentives for workers that are paid to these changes will be addressed.

At this Tuesday, the company has raised three fundamental issues to the unions, with the aim of approveing ​​them before the end of the week. The aforementioned voluntary leave plan for official personnel, the opening of a template stabilization process before activating the possible hiring from 2026 and the dismantling of the nodal centers promoted in the era of Juan Manuel Serrano and that have turned out to be a bad business. An operation that It will require the relocation of about a thousand employees.
