Somewhere in the Netherlands a postwoman is in trouble. Bad
health, snow and ice and a degree of chaos in her personal life have left her
months behind on her deliveries. She rents a privatised ex-council flat with her
partner and so many crates of mail have built up in the hallway that it’s
getting hard to move around. Twice a week one of the private mail companies she
works for, Selektmail, drops off three or four crates of letters, magazines and
catalogues. She sorts and delivers the fresh crates but the winter backlog is
tough to clear. She thinks her employers are getting suspicious. I counted 62
full mail crates stacked up in the hall when I visited recently. There was a
narrow passageway between the wall of crates and her personal pile of stuff:
banana boxes, a disused bead curtain, a mop bucket. One of the crates has crept
into the study, where the postwoman’s computer rears up out of her own archival
heaps of newspapers and magazines. Should these two streams of paper merge they
would not be easily separated. The postwoman hasn’t given up. She had a similar
problem with the other private mail company she works for, Sandd, a few years
back. ‘When I began at Sandd in 2006 I delivered about 14 boxes of mail every
time,’ she said.The composition of products from today's perspective, the parts

between the poor. Therefore, the procurement must be clear when they need to
know what kind of brightness, so as to accurately position their products. There
were even boxes in the toilet.’ The postwoman is paid a pittance to deliver
corporate mail. She hasn’t done her job well, yet so few people have complained
about missed deliveries that she hasn’t been found out.

bubble. In the internet age private citizens are sending less mail than they
used to, but that’s only part of the story of postal decline. The price of
driving down the cost of bulk mailing for a handful of big organisations is
being paid for by the replacement of decently paid postmen with casual labour
and the erosion of daily deliveries.

I agreed not to name the Dutch
postwoman or to give away any detail that would identify her. Even if she wasn’t
sitting on months of undelivered mail Sandd or Selekt could sack her in a
heartbeat. She works, she reckons, about 30 hours a week for the two companies,
earning about five euros an hour, although the legal minimum wage in the
Netherlands is between eight and nine euros an hour. She has no contract. She
gets no sick pay, no pension and no health insurance. One of the companies gives
her a dribble of holiday pay. Selekt gave her a jacket and a sweatshirt but she
gets no other clothing or footwear and has to pay to maintain her own bike. The
company is able to offer such miserable conditions because of loopholes in Dutch
employment law. The postwoman is paid a few cents for each item of mail she
delivers. The private mail firms control their delivery people’s daily postbag
to make sure they never earn more than €580 a month, the level at which the
firms would be obliged to give them a fixed contract. Somehow Selekt has not
noticed it is getting fewer empty crates back than it sends full crates out.
When I followed the postwoman to the kitchen, I saw, like some recurring
nightmare, 20 more crates filled with letters.the color consistency: At present,

Selekt’s crates are yellow and stamped with the black hunting horn logo
of Deutsche Post, the former German state mail monopoly that, like its Dutch
counterpart, was privatised long ago. For years the two have been locked in a
struggle for business on the streets of the Netherlands, part of a fratricidal
postal war across northern Europe from which Royal Mail – soon, if the

characterized by: a good degree of resistance to bending, but weaker than the

the like. From the exterior view, copper red, yellow copper rolling to be
privatised like its Dutch and German peers – is not immune. Privatising old
state post companies doesn’t necessarily make it easier for rivals to compete
with them. Privatisation isn’t the same as liberalisation. But in Holland
privatisation and liberalisation combined have altered the post in a way far
beyond anything Britain has seen.
