Verdi Escalates Strikes at Deutsche Post Over Wage Dispute

Postal workers across Germany stage walkouts as negotiations stall, delaying mail and package deliveries nationwide.

The Verdi union has called for continued strikes across Deutsche Post operations, affecting both mail and package deliveries.
Around 170,000 Deutsche Post employees are covered by the ongoing wage negotiations, which have seen three failed rounds of talks so far.
Verdi is demanding a 7% wage increase over 12 months and three additional vacation days, while the company has offered a 3.8% raise over 27 months and one extra vacation day for some workers.
The strikes have caused significant delays, with millions of mail items and packages left undelivered, impacting customers nationwide.
The fourth round of negotiations is scheduled for Monday, with Verdi pushing for a revised offer that addresses rising living costs and workload concerns.
