Deutsche Post says it agrees wage deal with union to avoid strike
Germany's Deutsche Post postal company said on Saturday it had agreed a wage deal with the Verdi trade union that would enable it to avoid an indefinite strike threatened by unionised workers. The offer - which members still need to vote on - would give Deutsche Post's 160,000 employees in Germany a one-off payment of 3,000 euros over 15 months and raises monthly wages by 340 euros from April 1, 2024, the company said in a statement. That means wages will rise in total by 11.5% on average, with salaries for workers in lower-paid brackets set to increase by more than 20%.

German union votes for strike at Deutsche Post, wage talks to continue
BERLIN (Reuters) -Members of Germany's Verdi trade union backed an indefinite strike at Deutsche Post on Thursday but also said wage negotiations would continue on Friday. Some 86% of union members polled had voted to reject the German postal company's current wage offer, well above the 75% threshold required for industrial action, the union said. Deutsche Post, which owns logistics giant DHL, called on the union to enter another round of negotiating.
