A survey of TNT's 23,000 postal workers shows that a majority is prepared to take a pay cut or lose other benefits in return for job security, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
In total 7,683 people replied to the survey questions and 74% said they would accept cuts in working conditions, TNT said.
Talks between unions and TNT management measures to head off redundancies broke down earlier this year after members rejected a deal to cut pay levels by up to 15%.
The company said in 2007 that thousands of jobs would go if wages were not cut.
The survey comes as the AD newspaper claims TNT is poised to sack 11,000 delivery workers and sorting staff over the next two years.
The paper says TNT Post boss Harry Koorstra will outline details of the cuts in a personal leaflet to staff later today.

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.

TNT open for new talks with postal unions

* Employee survey shows willingness to consider pay cuts
* Extent of forced redundancies would depend on new talks
AMSTERDAM, July 2 (Reuters) - Under-pressure Dutch logistics firm TNT (TNT.AS) said on Thursday it was open to discussing a new labour accord at its mail division after a survey showed staff would be willing to consider pay and benefit cuts.
In April, postal union members rejected a draft accord that included wage cuts, prompting the Dutch company to raise the prospect of thousands of forced redundancies.
But Europe's second largest mail and express delivery company said the survey showed employees would work under less favourable conditions in exchange for temporary job guarantees.
TNT was therefore open to restarting negotiations with unions, board member Harry Koorstra told Dutch news agency ANP in an interview.
Shares in TNT were up 3 percent at 14.63 euros by 1115 GMT, while the DJ Stoxx industrial goods and services index .SXNP was down 1.15 percent.
TNT is aiming for cost savings of 395 million euros ($557 million) annually until the end of 2015, partly through the loss of up to 11,000 jobs as well as pay and benefit cuts, to compensate for a decline in mail volumes, a spokesman said.
However, the number of forced redundancies would depend on the outcome of any new talks with unions, the spokesman said. Some 23,000 staff work at TNT's mail unit. ($1=.7087 Euro)
