Union calls for 4.5-percent wage increases at Deutsche Post
Ver.di, the gigantic services sector labour union, wants wage increases of up to 4.5 percent for employees at Deutsche Post, the semi-privatised German postal service, Ver.di board member Rolf Buettner said in a newspaper interview published Monday. The union would be demanding wage increases of 3.5-4.5 percent for the transport sector as a whole, Buettner told the daily Die Welt.
“And I’ll recommend Deutsche Post employees to set their demand at the top end of this range in the 2006 wage round,” the Ver.di official said.
