La Poste management announces the closure of the Tamaris office in Alès on January 1, 2025. A union is stepping up to the plate.
“This post office serves users in the Tamaris, Cévennes and Bruèges districts, who find here all services related to mail, banking, telephony, etc. »explains Jérôme Lacroix, CGT-FAPT Gard manager. Paul Planque, municipal councilor of Alès and community councilor of Alès Agglomération, says he is dismayed: “The remoteness of this public service would aggravate an already situation of generalized declines in public services (health, school, etc.) affecting the life of these neighborhoods by leading to the disappearance of businesses, forcing users to move with the mobility difficulties that we know. »
“When you want to kill your dog”
The same continues: “ When you want to kill your dog… you know the adage. La Poste cites a drop in activity and digital technology as the culprit; she chooses there, financial profitability to the defiance of public service. The Post Office is not a commodity but a public service which helps to guarantee equality of services for all.”
“The Post Office is not a commodity”
The use of digital? “It does not replace humans but aims to facilitate procedures; we experience it, the absence of professional agents makes life more difficult and widens a divide that excludes many people.” A rally is planned for this Friday, November 8 at 10:30 a.m. Address: 3 Rue Jean Roupain, 30100 Alès. A petition has also been launched, available here.
