Nationwide Verdi Strikes Disrupt Key Sectors Across Germany

Public services, transportation, and logistics face widespread interruptions as Verdi escalates demands for higher wages and better working conditions.

Verdi has initiated 48-hour strikes at major airports in Hamburg and Munich, leading to significant flight cancellations and disruptions for passengers.
Public transportation in Berlin and other cities continues to be affected by ongoing strikes, with Verdi rejecting wage offers and threatening further action if demands are not met by March deadlines.
The Deutsche Post faces nationwide strikes in its package and mail centers, delaying deliveries and intensifying pressure on employers to meet demands for a 7% wage increase and additional vacation days.
Public services, including kindergartens, waste management, and municipal offices, are heavily impacted in cities like Cologne, Essen, and Hamburg, with Verdi pushing for an 8% wage hike and improved working conditions.
Despite recent agreements in sectors like the private bus industry, Verdi remains in contentious negotiations with public employers, citing inflation and increased workloads as key issues.
