The meeting, which brought together representatives from sectoral member organisations from countries including Germany, France, the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Austria, saw the participation of guest speakers from the European Commission as well as of UNI Europa and PostEurop, which constitute together with CESI the EU’s social partners in the European sectoral social dialogue committee on postal services.
Speakers from the European Commission detailed out the timing, consultation procedure and scope of a new EU Delivery Act, which could bring substantial changes of employment and working conditions of postal staff across Europe too. After vivid discussions with Dimitris Theodorakis from UNI Europa and Nerea Perez Arcos from PostEurop, the Expert Commission set out to draft a position for CESI’s upcoming legislative advocacy work on the subject.
The discussion took place not least in the context of CESI’s new PillAct project, which serves to sensitive CESI’s members and affiliates to use the European Pillar of Social Rights as a tool to make a case for decent employment and working conditions across the EU.
As the constitutive meeting following CESI’s last Congress, the meeting also saw the election of Manfred Wiedner from Eurofedop/the Austrian GPF-FCG as President of CESI’s Expert Commission on Post and Telecoms, and of Christina Dahlhaus from the German dbb/DKVKOM and Samuel Goldberg from the Dutch CNV as Vice-Presidents. CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: “I am glad to see this trio leading our Expert Commission on Post and Telecoms. Manfred Wiedner is a long-standing Austrian trade unionist and previous President of our Expert Commission, with a true sense for Europe and better employment and working conditions for post and telecoms staff across the EU. Christina Dahlhaus and Samuel Goldberg bring a wealth of additional expertise from the sector, with a proven track record of interest representation for telecoms and postal workers in Germany and the Netherlands respectively.”
