Frankfurt/Main (dpa/lhe) – The warning strikes announced at Postbank also affect branches in Hesse. The Verdi union called for temporary work stoppages in two branches in Frankfurt and one in Offenbach, as announced on Thursday. The warning strikes should therefore begin this Friday and last until the end of Saturday. Delays in operations or the closure of branches must be expected, it said.
Verdi announced a nationwide wave of warning strikes at Postbank on Wednesday. The union wants to put pressure on Deutsche Bank, to which Postbank belongs, in the ongoing collective bargaining talks. At the start of the week, employers made it clear that they were not interested in the current inflation and the associated loss of purchasing power, said negotiator Jan Showereck.
Verdi wants to push through six percent more wages and a corona bonus for the approximately 15,000 Postbank employees. The second round of negotiations is scheduled for February 22nd.
