Post offices have just joined existing gas stations as distribution points and make it difficult for the disabled to meet the objectives set by the organization. ONCE Kiosk ONCE Kiosk. The National Organization of the Spanish Blind (ONCE) has closed a pilot program with Correos that allows extraordinary coupons to be sold in post offices. The Independent Trade Union Center and Civil Servants (CSIF) denounces that it is difficult for traditional sellers to meet the sales objectives set by the company. It has been in operation for four weeks and the first complaints from workers have already begun. El Confidencial Digital has contacted Jerónimo Parejo, CSIF Delegate at ONCE. He explains that this agreement seriously harms employees' sales, by having to share the market with yet another competitor. This is not the first time that traditional sales have been affected by the entry of another distribution point. Four years ago, ONCE decided that kiosks, gas stations and tobacconists could also sell products from the Organization.
At first, as now, it began as a pilot program in which they could sell only extraordinary items. Currently, they have a wide range of products for sale. In the event that a seller does not meet his objectives, around 1000 euros per week, sanctions may be applied , ranging from area relocation to non-renewal of the contract, in the case of Middle East Mobile Number List temporary workers. ONCE assured employees that the sale of products through other channels would not affect workers' sales. They stated that these points would be placed in places far from each other so that they would not suffer any type of damage . However, ECD has had access to the testimony of three ONCE workers. All of them corroborate that their sales have been affected due to the complementary physical channels and affirm that now another competitor, in reference to Correos, will further reduce their possibilities of placing coupons .
One of them works at an ONCE kiosk located on Avenida de la Albufera, in the Madrid neighborhood of Vallecas. Just twenty meters from his workplace there is a tobacconist where they sell the organization's products. Another case is that of a worker with a kiosk in Cullera (Valencia). He is also affected after a tobacconist less than fifteen meters away began selling, for example, “El rasca.” Official ONCE sources have explained to ECD that they are examining in depth the location of tobacconists or gas stations where the organization's products can be sold. He clarifies that the agreement with Correos is a pilot experience in which it is yet to be decided whether or not to continue with the project for the future.Rating downgrade to junk bond Last week, the Fitch rating agency lowered Catalonia's debt rating by two notches to BB from BBB-.
