Strikwelle at Deutsche Post: Verdi fights for higher wages!
In North Rhine-Westphalia, the collective bargaining between the ver.di union and Deutsche Post will continue. The current negotiation process has increasingly gained intensity in the past few weeks, especially after all -day warning strikes that took place last Saturday. Today, March 4, 2025, the fourth round of negotiations started and continues on Tuesday. The exact place of the talks remains secret, which also focuses on the negotiations. n-tv reports about the developments in this exciting discussion.
Verdi demands an immediate increase in fees by 7% for around 170,000 employees, including postman, postman and logistics employee, in a collective agreement with a term of twelve months. In contrast, Deutsche Post only offered an increase of 1.8% and later 2.0% in a 27 -month contract. This discrepancy between the requirements of the union and the company's offers leads to an escalating situation.
information about the warning strikes
In the past few weeks, thousands of employees have participated in the all-day warning strikes, which took place in various package and letter centers as well as in delivery. These strikes sometimes had a significant impact on the delivery of various programs, whereby numerous deliveries arrived late.

From February 4, all-day strikes were carried out in several federal states, including North Rhine-Westphalia, Hesse and Lower Saxony, some of which lasted several days in a row. Nevertheless, it was emphasized that the delivery of the election documents for the Bundestag election on February 23, 2025 is secured, even if this is a special challenge due to the warning strikes.
claims of the union
Verdi has also made additional claims: In addition to the desired salary increase of seven percent, an increase of three days is also required more vacation for tariff employees and trainees. In addition, the union would like to achieve an additional vacation day for its members. Andrea Kocsis from ver.di emphasized the need for wage increases in order to counteract the increasing cost of living. She points out that the income of the majority of employees at Deutsche Post is under the middle income in Germany.
The negotiations between ver.di and Deutsche Post are at a critical point, and the upcoming discussions could be decisive for the future of employees in the company.
