Walter Oblin, the new CEO of Swiss Post, announces further expansion in the Middle East. Despite trade union protests, he wants to expand Sunday delivery after a test phase and massively increase the number of parcel pick-up stations.

"Krone": As CEO, you are starting with a bang: Austrian Post is testing Sunday home delivery in four districts of Vienna. This displeases the trade union, to put it mildly.
Walter Oblin: Austrian Post is a modern, innovative company that aims to satisfy customer needs. We see Sunday delivery as a premium service that is requested by both large senders and recipients. We are testing it out. And yes, there are exciting reactions.
