Verdi Warnstreiks Disrupt DHL Package Deliveries Across Germany

The third consecutive day of strikes targets DHL package centers, as Verdi demands a 7% wage increase and additional vacation days.

Verdi has called for nationwide strikes at DHL package centers, impacting locations in cities such as Cologne, Leipzig, and Hannover.
The strikes have caused significant delays in package deliveries, with millions of packages reportedly left undelivered over three days.
Verdi is demanding a 7% wage increase, three additional vacation days, and an extra day for union members, citing inflation and rising workloads.
Deutsche Post, which operates DHL, has rejected the demands, pointing to declining mail volumes and high investment requirements as limiting factors.
The next round of negotiations between Verdi and Deutsche Post is scheduled for February 12 and 13, with the company expected to present an offer.
