Post strike called for November 24
Unions representing 95% of postal workers plan to disrupt deliveries in protest at government reform plans
POST deliveries could be hit by disruption later this month as five unions plan a one-day strike over government reform plans.
The unions, which represent 95% of La Poste workers, are planning the 24-hour walkout on November 24 in protest at a new law that would turn the post office into a company with shareholders.
The government insists it is not planning to privatise La Poste and it would be the only shareholder in the société anonyme.

The EU requires it in preparation for the opening up of the European postal market in January 2011.
