According to the union, the current adjustment policy and "zero hiring" promoted by the public company's management are insufficient to address the exceptional situation. This staff shortage affects offices and delivery units throughout the province of Córdoba, with centers operating well below their actual staffing needs.
The situation is particularly concerning in the capital, where all delivery units lack staff, forcing workers to cover vacancies generated by retirements, transfers, or consolidation of management positions. Additionally, the lack of coverage for temporary disability leave in towns such as Peñarroya, Pozoblanco, Villanueva de Córdoba, Montilla, and Lucena is criticized.
“"The lack of staff generally affects offices and delivery units throughout the province, with centers operating well below their actual staffing needs."
In Doña Mencía, a municipality with 4,465 inhabitants, there is no postman assigned to the local office, with deliveries being covered by staff from Baena. Similarly, in Palma del Río and La Carlota, part-time workers who were first in line for full-time positions were not assigned them in the latest transfer competition.
CCOO warns that prioritizing the sale of insurance or the migrant regularization process in offices could jeopardize the correct management of postal voting. Offices with a high influx of regularization applicants, such as the Main Office on Cruz Conde, Branch 1 (Sector Sur), and Branch 4 (Libia), could see their electoral operations affected.
The company, according to the union, continues not to cover retirements, sick leave, permits, or extended leave, forcing the remaining staff to take on an increasing workload. This situation occurs at a time of high operational demand for Correos, with thousands of electoral mailings and a large influx of citizens to postal offices.
