Faber, who was a holiday intern 45 years ago, described himself as an “experienced postal worker” and praised the tireless work of the postal employees during the hectic run-up to Christmas. Ludwig, who also worked in the postal industry as a young man, reported that the post office recorded a record 1.56 million packages per day during this time. Throughout December, over 230,000 packages are sorted every day in the Vienna logistics center, as mentioned in a press release from the Post, which also discussed the support provided by the two prominent helpers.

This also includes measures such as a guarantee of apprenticeships and the promotion of inter-company training centers. These initiatives are intended to ensure that thousands of jobs are secured in Vienna, which is particularly important in the current economic situation.
