The post office plans to release about fifteen hundred people, it will cancel more than two thousand places – ČT24 – Czech Television

“Dismissal is not a new thing to do with Christmas or covid. It is part of the restructuring plan that we presented two years ago. So, according to him, we are continuing so that Česká pošta can operate more efficiently and cheaper and return to profit, “said Roman Knap, CEO of ČP, to Czech Television.

And according to him, it is also related to the fact that the business in the postal market is changing. “We need more people on the parcel side. And then some traditional services that disappear are shrinking. Typically, the volume of letter items and more and more retirees already have money in their accounts and do not receive it in cash. But in addition to eliminating some jobs, we are also creating new ones and changing the structure of the workforce at Česká pošta, “he added.



The largest trade union headquarters, the Enterprise Coordination Trade Union Committee, does not agree with the changes, which mean the abolition of positions.

“The employer will cancel the job position, new ones will also be created. How many postmen will actually lose their jobs will be clear only after discussion, “said trade union chairwoman Jindřiška Budweiserová.


This is the amount of severance pay

“Outgoing employees will receive higher severance pay beyond the scope of the Labor Code, depending on the years worked for the Czech Post. We are also discussing retraining and support for outgoing postmen and the social program of employees in the pre-retirement age, “added Budweiser.

Negotiations began on November 11 and are in full swing, confirmed the director of ČP. “It’s not easy, we are looking for a way to make it easier for employees. For example, retraining, moving to other workplaces within the Czech Post and we also use a lot of natural departures, because this change will take place from March 1 and many employees would leave the same, either in retirement or by natural fluctuations, “added Knap.
