In the event of a power shortage, La Poste could not simply reduce its sorting activities in its distribution centres. It would be necessary “to completely stop the exploitation of certain sites”, warns Christian Levrat.
“On this point, politics sometimes has funny ideas,” adds the chairman of the board of directors of La Poste in an interview published Thursday by the German-speaking newspapers of the Tamedia group. However, he considers a stoppage to be rather unlikely. The energy situation has eased in recent weeks.
The Fribourgeois says he is confident that La Poste can maintain its offer of services during the Holidays. She organized additional staff and tours.
According to him, 2022 should not be a record year, however, even if the volume of parcels will probably be very much higher than the level before the pandemic. During the night of Monday to Tuesday, the milestone of one million sorted packages was exceeded for the first time this year.
Even if La Poste is globally solidly financed, the years 2022 and 2023 “will be difficult for us – as for many of our customers”, underlines the former president of the Swiss Socialist Party. Who does not see for the moment “no need to take other measures” in the context of the PostBus scandal.
