PARIS, June 26 (Reuters) - French state-owned post office operator La Poste may launch a plan to save 1 billion euros ($1.39 billion) in costs to counter an expected 30 percent fall in mail volume between now and 2015, Les Echos said on Friday.
A strategic plan, which also entails seeking acquisitions abroad, should be unveiled on Monday, the paper said.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

France to inject 2.7 bln euros into post office
PARIS, June 16 (Reuters) - France plans to invest 2.7 billion euros into the post office to prepare it for competition after the liberalisation of most of Europe's postal services in 2011, the government said on Tuesday.
The post office will become a limited company but shares will only be sold to public sector investors, according to a bill which the government hopes will be passed before the end of the year.

The move to transform the state-owned La Poste, which employs nearly 300,000, into a limited company had originally been intended to prepare the way for a partial privatisation.
'La Poste is emblematic of the French public service,' said Industry Minister Luc Chatel, explaining why the government had decided not to privatise.
'We specifically wanted to write into the bill the fact that 100 percent of the capital will stay public.'
The EU's members last year adopted laws to open all national mail markets to full competition -- in the face of bitter opposition from the sector's labour unions.
Unions fear the government's plan to turn La Poste into a limited company is still the first step towards privatisation.
'In the public sector there are companies where the private shareholders play an important role,' the Force Ouvriere union said in a statement.
The state bank, Caisse des Depots (CDC), will provide 1.5 billion euros and the state will pay 1.2 billion euros to help the post office get in shape for competition.
La Poste has a turnover of about 20 billion euros and is the second largest postal group in Europe. It has around 29 million clients for its banking activities.
