Murcia / Madrid (EFE) has promised to pay him overtime if he is president.
In a rally in Murcia together with the former president of the Government, José María Aznar, and the acting president of the Region, Fernando López Miras, he told the Post Office workers that even if “they do not have enough reinforcements, they know that they are guarding something sacred, which is The vote”.
“And that is why I ask those postmen, regardless of their bosses, to distribute all the votes before the end of the term. If they do not pay the overtime, in the first Council of Ministers I will pay the hours to all the postmen in Spain for fulfilling their duty”, Feijóo said at a rally in which he called on the PP not to take the elections for granted. .
The deadline for requesting a vote by mail ends on Thursday, July 13, and the deadline for voters to go to an office to cast their vote ends on July 20.
Correos replies to Feijóo
Correos has highlighted in a statement that the payment of overtime to its professionals for 23J is “budgeted” and that it has taken all measures to guarantee voting by mail, after committing the leader of the PP, Alberto Nuñez Feijóo, to pay overtime if you are president.
To this, Correos has stated that “the payment of overtime to its professionals has already been budgeted and committed” and has recalled that “since May 30 it has been taking and will take all the necessary measures to guarantee voting by mail”.
Likewise, it reiterates that this Tuesday it announced that it has formalized 19,400 reinforcement contracts for “the correct development of activities related to voting by mail for the general elections” given the increase in the number of applications received and the coincidence of the electoral period with the Summer Vacation.
“Correos will continue to hire all the troops that are necessary to guarantee voting by mail in the General Elections on July 23,” adds the public company.
For this reason, it foresees that this number of contracts may increase and even far exceed the 12,000 contracts requested by the unions.
