Widespread Strikes Disrupt Postal Services and More

The ongoing labor dispute between Verdi and Deutsche Post has led to significant disruptions across Germany. The union, representing postal workers, is advocating for a 7% wage increase and three additional vacation days for 170,000 employees. In contrast, Deutsche Post's offer includes a modest wage increase of 1.8% and 2% over 27 months, alongside one extra vacation day for two-thirds of the workforce.

The strike actions have already involved 3,300 employees, affecting millions of mail and parcel deliveries. Major impacts are being felt, with 10% of letter deliveries and 25% of packages delayed. Besides postal services, strikes have extended to other sectors, including airports and public services, causing widespread disruption. In Munich, the strike led to over 80% of flights being canceled, severely affecting passengers.

Negotiations have so far been unproductive, with the next round scheduled for early March. As the dispute continues, Verdi remains firm on its demands, while Deutsche Post argues that the strike is a burden on customers. The situation underscores the broader challenges in reaching a satisfactory resolution amid differing expectations.
