Overview

• Verdi has launched a renewed warning strike at Zalando's Erfurt logistics hub, involving around 80 early-shift workers, continuing through Wednesday morning.
• The union is pressuring Zalando to recognize regional collective agreements for retail and logistics workers in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, and Thuringia.
• These agreements would guarantee approximately 10% higher wages, shorter workweeks, increased bonuses, and pension benefits compared to current terms.
• Union representative Matthias Adorf highlighted Zalando's €500 million annual profit, arguing the company can easily afford the proposed wage increases.
• This strike follows an initial round of action in mid-April, with Zalando employing approximately 2,500 workers at the Erfurt facility.
