La Poste 鈥榯ests end of Dordogne鈥檚 daily post鈥�
Staff to do other work such as helping older people on com颅puters or completing tax forms
La Poste is looking at ending daily deliveries while staff do other work, such as helping older people on com颅puters or completing tax forms, say postal workers in the Dordogne.
The CGT postal union claims customers are grouped in categories such as those receiving repeat deliveries of newspapers, getting mail daily and others every two days or once a week.
It was reacting to a letter from a villager in Lachaud, Hautefort, who said its postbox was taken away, with La Poste telling him it was rarely used (tr猫s faible et sporadique) and 鈥渄id not justify a daily visit from the postman鈥�.
The man saw it as the first step to ending daily rounds.
La Poste denies such 鈥榗ategorising鈥� happens. It says it has a public service mission that means staff will pass each day if there are deliveries to be made.
With less mail being sent, post staff do jobs such as checking on or helping old people at home. Meanwhile, sports paper 尝鈥椭辩耻颈辫别 is to use Amazon Prime for Paris deliveries.
