No agreement regarding job cuts at Deutsche Post

Posted by | Sep 16, 2004 | |

According to the staff council of DHL, the express and logistics subsidiary of German postal service operator Deutsche Post, talks regarding redundancies as part of the company’s planned restructuring of its express services have failed completely. This is in contrast to a statement made by a spokesman for Deutsche Post three days ago, which said that a compromise had been reached between the company and Ver.di, the trade union for the service sector.

Spanish courier service sector forecasts a turnover of a total 5.8 bln euro ($7.1 bln) for 2004, up 10.9 pct year-on-year, Spanish consultancy DBK said on September 14, 2004.
