Nationwide Strike by Money Transport Workers Threatens Cash Supply

The Verdi union calls for a nationwide strike in the cash transport sector, impacting thousands of workers amid ongoing wage negotiations.

Approximately 150 to 200 employees in Baden-Württemberg have participated in the strike, potentially disrupting ATM cash availability.
The strike is part of a broader effort to pressure employers ahead of the next negotiation round scheduled for November 14.
Verdi demands include uniform wages, overtime pay adjustments, and increased holiday entitlements for cash transport workers.
Previous strikes in October already caused concerns over cash shortages, prompting some banks to alert their customers.
Employers have proposed a new wage offer, but union leaders emphasize that significant progress is still needed.
