ABOUT 80 front-line postal workers are to be made redundant as Jersey Post tries to compete in a changing world.
Workers at the States-owned utility are to be offered a voluntary redundancy package over a four-year period.
The news was broken to the 270 staff in the postal services division yesterday. The announcement was made jointly by company managers and senior officials of the Communication Workers Union.
The workers were told that Jersey Post needed make changes to its workforce if the organisation was to remain competitive and commercially viable in future.
Workers expressed anger at the plans at a union meeting last night. Union leaders said today that postal staff were as concerned about the potential effects on customers and services as they were about their jobs. (from JEP)
