Norway: Saturday mail to 300 million



This is the headline in Norway's newspaper, Today's Business, where Norway Post chief executive Day Mejdell has been requesting political support for, inter alia, to change the licensing conditions and eliminate Saturday mail deliveries.



Norway Post laid out the case in the news media which has created awareness that the CEO sends out such a trial balloon, without political support. This emerges also in a separate article in Dagens Næringsliv.



"I am pleased that Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and transport politicians from all parties, supports our view that Saturday delivery of mail throughout the country is important," said union leader Odd Christian Øverland.



The union, Post Kom suggests this is a very bad way to modernize the company, says Overland.
