World Post Day is a day to celebrate the vital role of postal services in connecting people, communities and societies. Today, leaders of postal unions from all over the world are highlighting the crucial value of postal workers performing an essential duty every day to bring people together.<\/p>\r\n

In an increasingly interconnected and digital world, the post remains one of our most significant institutions and it\u2019s crucial that we fight for a post that is sustainable, diverse, public and decent for workers.<\/p>\r\n

The future of post is sustainable<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The future of the postal service is green jobs and sustainability. \u201cLet\u2019s invest in climate-friendly delivery and vital new services for communities like elder check-ins and low-fee banking\u201d said Jan Simpson, National President of CUPW Canada and UNI Americas Post & Logistics President. \u201cWe need to create new revenue streams and secure good union jobs.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

The future of post is decent work<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Dave Ward, General Secretary of the CWU and UNI Post and Logistics World President said that the future of post must be a future with decent work and dignity on the job. \u201cNot only are postal workers the bedrock of our communities but they can be green, innovative and efficient services which create well-paid, secure jobs for all\u201d, said Ward.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

The future of post is diversification<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Head of UNI Post and Logistics at UNI Global Union, Cornelia Berger underlined the need for the post to diversify: \u201cWe need to invest in new, green, innovative activities for the benefit and needs of everyone in our society. These services must be provided by highly motivated and well-trained postal workers with good working conditions in our growing, modern public networks.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

The future of post is public<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Ibrahima Sarr, President of UNI Africa Post and Logistics and SNTPT, emphasized the crucial role a public postal service plays in connecting people, cultures, and communities globally. \u201cThe Post is a key player in sustainable development, a precious social link and a bridge to a better future for humanity,\u201d said Sarr.<\/p>\r\n

Jens Saverstam, Head of the International Department at Swedish union SEKO and UNI Europa Post and Logistics President underscored the need for a public postal service. \u201cPeople\u2019s access to postal services is a democratic right,\u201d said Saverstam \u201cThe universal postal service defends freedom of expression and democracy.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Celebrating the post<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u201cThe postal service transcends borders \u2013 it doesn\u2019t only deliver letters but love, culture, and hope. To all postal workers and everyone globally, your efforts weave our world together; happy World Post Day!\u201d said Yukinori Ishikawa President of the Japan Postal Group Union and UNI Post and Logistics Asia Pacific.<\/p>\r\n

As we celebrate post and logistics workers globally, these messages underscore the need for a sustainable, public, diverse, and decent future for postal services. They remind us that postal workers are the backbone of our communities, connecting us in an increasingly digital world and serving as a lifeline for many.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
