Postal delivery firm TNT is prepared to reduce the number of compulsory redundancies it is planning still further if the unions agree to moderate their pay demands in 2012 and 2013, news agency ANP reported on Friday.

Postal union BVPP says TNT has offered to create an extra 300 jobs in its parcels delivery arm and reduce the compulsory job losses by 250 by phasing in the reorganisation over a longer period.
In return, the unions are being asked to agree to a pay freeze in 2012 and 1% increase in 2013.
TNT Post wants to save €430m by reducing the delivery workforce by 11,000 jobs. Of that some 3,000 would be forced redundancies.
The BVPP also said it was not sure if it would take part in next week’s three-day strike called by Abvakabo. The CNV-affliated postal workers union does back the strike.
