The privatization of the post office will result in the outsourcing of services; job cuts and the reduction of the postal network, affecting the poorest and most vulnerable population located in remote places. UNI Americas P&L must continue to fight against privatization and defend the quality and inclusive public postal service; our fight is against deregulation, and labor reforms that limit the right to bargain collectively and constitute a threat to trade unions. We must advance in the debate on legislation that allows postal operators in the region to provide a quality and inclusive service.

Exchange of views on establishing and developing union alliances with other global unions.

The postal network is a network of proximity to the communities, trusted by its customers, which facilitates the implementation of public policies, in many countries, the postal services are strategic partners. The evolution of the sector urges us to question ourselves about how unions can promote changes in the sector, aimed at providing a more ecological service and mitigating climate change. What will be the role of trade unions in the future? An inclusive and innovative approach is required where unions lead the debate on the future structure of postal companies, including the different needs and requirements of workers to ensure that no one is left behind.

Exchange of views on the inclusion of new needs and demands in collective.

The technological developments, the introduction of unfair competition by private operators, the expansion of e-commerce and the growing importance of courier, express mail and parcel activities have put pressure on the employment conditions of postal and logistics workers. Competition must be controlled and regulated to avoid social dumping in the sector. The importance and obligation of having due diligence processes have become part of the political debate both globally and nationally. How can postal unions face competitors such as Amazon and other parcel companies?
