Overview
- Early and late shifts at the Lüttow‑Valluhn central warehouse stopped work from 4 a.m., involving several hundred employees.
- The site employs about 800 people across three shifts and supplies stores in Hamburg, Schleswig‑Holstein, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern and northern Brandenburg.
- Verdi is seeking a flat €200 monthly raise for all pay groups for a one‑year term after three failed bargaining rounds.
- Employers have tabled a substantially smaller offer, described as three staged increases totaling €120 over two years or roughly 2.1% in separate reports.
- No date is set for a fourth round of talks, the peace obligation has lapsed at the site, and the union says further actions could be called at short notice.
