For more financial news, go to the The Communications Worker Union has claimed that the SA Post Office is going ahead with plans to retrench 6 000 workers.
Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act allows an employer considering large-scale dismissals to undergo a consultative process to determine whether such dismissals are deemed necessary to keep its operations going. "The company failed to adhere to its own processes where such matters should and can be discussed at the bargaining chambers with all the key stakeholders."
_Business Unions are part of the problem. How are you auprised when you make atupid demands?
_Business All the branches of the Post Offices near me are disgusting and the staff unfriendly and unhelpful.
_Business Another union has successfully gone and destroyed jobs. Unions in South Africa kill jobs, they stifle employment and are responsible for the youth unemployment.
_Business Makes absolutely no difference in my town. There are 20 counters at PO and only 3 employees permanently drinking tea.
_Business Another SOE gone to the dogs....the gravy train has now come to a stop...to those fools that though it won't stop....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
_Business When last was the minister or ANY senior officials actually in a PostofficeSa ? PostNet have put them to shame. The Post Office is a dead horse.
_Business A feeling of dread goes over me when I have to go to the PO. The housekeeping and attitude of staff is pathetic, not to mention it's poorly kept, then you have car thieves operating with impunity with the workers, go figure. Let them go
_Business Serves them right. Employee monkeys to run a business who then went on a crippling strike which sunk that business while theft of post went unabated. Another perfect example cadre deployment and workers thinking they are more valuable than they are. African ideology at its finest
_Business It was all good, until they started running out of other peoples money.
_Business CWU belongs in the past😳poor work ethic/good salaries for little or no work/thieving at work/no delivery of mail made them redundant, we prefer postnet!!SAPS also running themselves to the ground, sooner we should do without them
_Business Close it - this service is already privatized
_Business This gives the Union time to show the workers the Balance Sheets and Management Accounts of their private business.
_Business You shape up or ship out, no handouts
_Business Well….. they are doing very little to earn their keep in all fairness
_Business Yet another great example of the cANCer.
_Business The post office will require a totally new business model if it is to have any chance of survival. Look at a Postnet type of operation with banking license.
_Business Denel fucked, post office fucked, sabc fucked, transnet fucked, eskom fucked, SAL fucked. What did I miss? This is what happens if you have incompetent and thieving people run the business.
_Business Through their bad service and stealing of mail and parcels they made themselves redundant! Another Govt entity gone BANG!
_Business Government Departments will follow in future
_Business (2/2). Can't survive as organisation selling stamps which no one needs or uses or posting etoll accounts (which arrive 4 months late). Email/electronic communications mean less to no mail being sent via post office. People use courier services for all else.
_Business 6000 job losses for now. More to follow. Post office has been mismanaged for years. When you fail to secure and deliver letters and parcels then people will find other means. You failed to deal with those who were stealing people's goods & now you are all losing your jobs (1/2)
_Business We need a minister of Post Office as well.
_Business The Post Office, along with other SOE's are bankrupt. You cannot still be employing the same amount of people when the business is not profitable. Expenses must be cut and staff reduced.
_Business Mitchell's plain in Cape Town don't even currently have a Post office, but look into that for a cool story.
_Business Post Office? What! Do we still have a Post Office? Thats a surprise.
