In the collective negotiating dispute with Deutsche Post, the Verdi Union further strengthened the pressure with warning attacks in parcel delivery before the third negotiating round. In the second negotiation round, according to Vice -Verdi chairman Andrea Kocsis, there were hardly any progress and concrete results.
According to Deutsche Post, around 2,800 employees participated in the protests at around 250 locations. This can lead to delays in delivery or collecting packages. At the moment there was “no valid reason for warning attacks,” the DHL daughter emphasized again.
Verdi requires 7 percent more wages
On Tuesday, the trade union had called on to move work in letter centers. According to the post office, however, participation in the protests was low. Verdi had already called for various warning strikes in the tariff round, which delayed the delivery of millions of letters, and packages also remained temporary. The group alone promotes more than 40 million letters on normal working days alone.
Verdi requires 7 percent more wages for the approximately 170,000 tariff employees of the group. Moreover, the trade union wants to force three days more vacation with reference to an increasing workload. Verdi members must receive an extra day.
Deutsche Post announces the offer
Deutsche Post complains about excessive costs in the German letter and parcel company and is “economically justified wage increases”. She had announced that she would put an offer on the table in the third round. The tariff discussions must be continued for two days from 12 February.
