The letters are less and less sent and with the luggage, the competition becomes harder and harder. The post office is therefore thinking about what latecomers might do on their delivery tours. Even the unions think it's good because it could save jobs.
The postman brings his granddaughter's letter and gossip magazine to the old lady on the third floor. But that's not all, he also explains to the retiree the functions of his new emergency watch and configure it according to his needs.
Utopia? No, the reality in the Zurich agglomeration. There is currently a pilot test in which Pöstler performs a startup consultation and installation of emergency call clocks (BLICK report). Normally, every second counts for a delivery tour of the post office, there is no time for a discussion or consultation.
Already during their tours, for example for the Nestlé food giant, the Pöstlers have to distribute the Müsterli in the mailboxes. Or sometimes, deliver the food in boxes to households.
Clarify what money brings
This would effectively appeal to the regime's unions, who otherwise still fear that the employee will be ousted. But no indication! The Transfair union is delighted that Swiss Post is not content with just looking at the break-up of its existing business model: "We want Swiss Post to test new services and clarify what is right for the market," explains René Fürst, head of postal sector and logistics. at the request of LOOK.
Because: "New services can help find a job." However, the Transfair representative restricts the fact that such extra business only makes sense if it can be used to make money. And above all: "It is important that the Pöstler be trained accordingly and that he has time for these additional services."
Get it, as the Post Office says: For the pilot project, the delivery visits were organized in such a way that the ten volunteers who volunteered for the project had enough time to consult each other.
In France, the factor is interested in the relationship
The Syndicom union also finds that Post's request to open new business is fundamentally good. However, additional tasks should not simply be imposed on employees: "The decisive factor for us is the involvement of staff in the preparation of such a project. Because only postal workers with practical experience can judge what is possible and what is not possible during a delivery tour, "says Christian Capacoel (40), spokesman for Syndicom.
Maybe we will see offers soon as in France. Postal family members can exchange one warrant for 22 francs, so that the postman visits the grandmother or grandfather once a week, rings the bell, and learns about the welfare. to be old people. And then report to the family – or if necessary, the nursing service.
