Deutsche Post Workers Continue Nationwide Strikes Over Wage Dispute

Verdi escalates pressure with two-day strike, demanding a 7% pay increase and improved working conditions for postal employees.

The Verdi union has called for a two-day strike affecting Deutsche Post operations in cities across Germany, disrupting mail and package deliveries.
Approximately 350 workers in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern alone participated, delaying the delivery of hundreds of thousands of letters and tens of thousands of packages.
Verdi is demanding a 7% wage increase in a 12-month contract and additional vacation days to address increased workloads, while Deutsche Post has offered smaller raises over a 27-month period.
The strikes are part of a broader effort to pressure Deutsche Post ahead of the fourth round of wage negotiations scheduled for Monday.
Verdi warns that if no agreement is reached in the upcoming talks, the labor dispute could intensify further, causing more significant disruptions.
