Verdi Launches Three-Day Warning Strike at Zalando Hubs in Erfurt and Mönchengladbach

The union seeks formal recognition of sector-wide collective agreements to standardize pay.

Overview

  • Walkouts began with the early shift on Thursday and are scheduled to continue until the end of shifts on Saturday.
  • Verdi says applying retail and logistics sector agreements would lift wages by more than 10% versus current Zalando levels.
  • The action marks the sixth warning strike at Zalando this year, according to the union.
  • Union official Matthias Adorf criticized company profits and a €65 million DFB sponsorship as he pressed for improved conditions.
  • Zalando points to a 14.5% pay increase at Erfurt since 2024, vacation expanded to up to 30 days, and benefits including social counseling, volunteer leave, and free shares.
