Verdi Warnstreiks Disrupt Deutsche Post Operations Across Germany

The union demands a 7% wage increase and additional vacation days, citing rising costs and workload, while Deutsche Post cites financial constraints.

The union Verdi has called for nationwide strikes at Deutsche Post's sorting centers, affecting mail and package delivery schedules.
Verdi is demanding a 7% salary increase, three additional vacation days for all employees, and a fourth day for union members.
Deutsche Post argues that the demands are financially unfeasible due to shrinking mail volumes and high investment requirements.
The disruptions from Tuesday's strikes are expected to impact consumers primarily on Wednesday, with delayed mail deliveries in several regions.
The next round of negotiations between Verdi and Deutsche Post is scheduled for February 12-13, with the company promising to present a formal offer.
