United Left-Greens today called on the City Council urge the National Government to take measures to maintain the viability of the public postal service.

Such request must be systematic siege from groups with strong business and financial interests in the field of logistics and parcels are being carried out in recent times, such as the application submitted to the European Commission by the management of that sector in which the Spanish State requires repayment of the financing of the Universal Postal Service since 1998.

Such negative reverse siege in services to citizens.

So, if you already narrowing economic margins are suffering Post has had a high social cost (8,000 jobs eliminated thousands of neighborhoods without distribution, delivery delays, discovered hundreds of rural areas and more than 16 million citizens medium and small populations affected), launched the siege to end the service, last weekend looking for companies in the sector, would jeopardize the viability of the same and the jobs of more than 55,000 people, the leaving no room service to millions of Spaniards and that private companies would not be profitable displacement for delivery of postal items.

Not to forget the important role of social, economic and territorial cohesion in the country playing Post, and that despite the siege we come refieriendo and social cost are assuming the narrowing of profit margins, currently serves more 8,000 municipalities, 16 million households, 3.2 million companies (of which 99% are SMEs, many of which can not afford other services), 7,100 service points in rural areas and over 100,000 miles a day made for carrying out the deals.

Currently, social peace with representatives of postal workers is about to break the blockade of the collective agreement after six months of negotiations.

This, along with everything I stated above, requires that measures be taken to guarantee service.

These happen because the state is defined unambiguously in the defense of the public service, secure funding commitments for the provision of postal services to all citizens expressed and approved in Congress, boosting market regulation do not trim the Plan Provision of Universal Postal Service and spaces close to the commercial interests of multinationals and financial lobbies seeking only profit and profitability at the expense of the rights of citizens, ensure that correspondence is dealt five days a week, as mandated by the European Postal Directive, unlock the ministerial measures are preventing the transition to the post office the letter now clear fall by the substitution effect-in other markets such as parcels especially unlock ministerial decisions that prevent the attainment of the labor agreement and guarantee 100 100 Public Participation in State Limited Company Post.
