Hamburg’s postmen are on the verge of being overhauled – especially in the Harburg district. Almost half of all deliverers there are on sick leave.
Hamburg – The post office workers in Hamburg have been revised. Illness, improvised schedules and overtime create a heavy burden. It is particularly bad in the Hamburg district of Harburg.
* 24hamburg.de reveals here the extreme conditions under which Harburg deliverers have to work.
Around 20 bicycle deliverers have just lodged a complaint with their employer. The overload notifications of the post office officials warn of extreme overwork, which can already be regarded as hazardous to health. 20 of the 43 delivering employees are currently on sick leave in Harburg. The rest cannot take care of the work. A lack of routine, expanded delivery areas, extended working hours and numerous overtime are the result. Until now, there is said to have rarely been any personal support for temporary help.
Swiss Post now wants to respond to the many complaints. A spokesman promised to hire additional staff. The works council of Deutsche Post Hamburg and the Verdi union support the deliverers in their protest and demand that the post take special care of the Harburg location. * 24hamburg.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
