Deutsche Post Warnstreiks Disrupt Deliveries for Second Day

Verdi demands higher wages and additional vacation days as negotiations with Deutsche Post remain stalled ahead of February talks.

Warnstreiks organized by the Verdi union have caused significant delays in mail and package deliveries across Germany for the second consecutive day.
Approximately 4,000 Deutsche Post employees participated in the strikes on Wednesday, with a focus on rural areas, following disruptions in urban centers on Tuesday.
Verdi is pressing for a 7% wage increase and additional vacation days, citing increased workloads and high living costs as justification.
Deutsche Post argues that limited financial flexibility, declining mail volumes, and significant investment needs make Verdi's demands challenging to meet.
The next round of negotiations between Verdi and Deutsche Post is scheduled for February 12-13, during which the company plans to present a new offer.
