The Romanian Postal Workers Union goes on strike. Can the people of Mures expect parcel delays? – News from Mures, Targu Mures News

Starting from Monday, April 1, Romanian Post employees are going on strike, even though the representatives of the “Romanian Post” National Company say that there are no good reasons to start a national strike.

“The management of the National Company “Poșta Română” took note of the decision of the Romanian Postal Workers’ Union to trigger the collective labor conflict in the form of a general strike on April 1“, CNPR transmitted at the end of last week. According to news.ro, the company emphasizes that the escalation of the labor conflict is artificial, and the “Romanian Post” National Company has taken all measures to overcome it.

The management of the CNPR assures the 2 million pensioners who receive social rights through the company that there will not be a single person who will not receive their rights on time, in April. “18 thousand of the more than 21 thousand employees of the Romanian Post, i.e. a percentage of 90%, regardless of their position, regardless of their responsibilities and seniority, from July 2024 they will have the minimum wage in the economy! This is the dissatisfaction and revolt of the thousands of Romanian Post employees who triggered the labor conflict and who are going on strike starting on 04/01/2024, 00:00!”, it is stated in a statement sent by the Romanian Postal Workers Union affiliated to the National Bank of Romania.

CNPR management: “We assure you that there will be no delays“

The National Company “Poșta Română” transmits in an official statement made available to employees all the financial possibilities of the company to avoid this labor conflict. “The company requested mediation, but SLPR representatives refused this. In the context in which the intense negotiations carried out since the end of last year between the National Company “Romanian Post” and the SLPR did not reach a result, and the SLPR decided to initiate a general strike of part of the employees, the Romanian Post makes the following clarifications: the National Company “Pošta Română” will ensure the exact distribution, in accordance with all contractual and legal provisions, of mailings and social rights for all customers, and their delay is excluded. We assure all customers, partners and banking institutions of the stability and functionality of the services, as well as the solidity of the ongoing management policies“, the Romanian Post announced.

The company emphasizes that “the escalation of the labor conflict is artificial, and the National Company “Romanian Post” has taken all measures to overcome it. “We assure the more than 2 million pensioners who receive their social rights through the National Company “Pošta Română” that there will not be a single person who will not receive their rights on time, in April! All social rights will be delivered on time, by APRIL 15, as we have promised!“, shows the Romanian Post.

More than 80% of CNPR employees will not join the strike

The overwhelming majority, more than 80% of employees, will perform their duties professionally, as before, according to the CNPR management. Approximately 20% of the company’s employees joined the collective labor dispute in writing. “I want to assure, first of all, all the more than 2 million pensioners who receive their social rights through the National Company “Romanian Post” that there will not be a single person who will not receive their rights on time, in April! All pensions will be distributed on time, until April 15, as we have promised so far! The information regarding the impact on the population is false and is transmitted in bad faith!”, declares the general director of the Romanian Post, Valentin Ștefan.

“The National Company “Pošta Română” has taken all the necessary measures, at the management level, and will continue to make every effort to overcome this collective labor conflict. Now it is only up to the SLPR representatives to make the best decisions for the employees they represent“, it is also stated in a statement.
