The next warning strike began in the tariff conflict in the Erfurt logistics center of the online fashion retailer Zalando. Around 100 people have been on site since 6 a.m., as the trade union secretary Trade in Thuringia, Matthias Adorf explained. The mood is good, he continued. Until the end of the day, Adorf accounted for around 250 employees.
Despite the first promotions in the twelve-year history of the Zalando location in Erfurt in April and May, the management has so far not been willing to negotiate, said Verdi in Erfurt. The union demands that Zalando recognize the space collective agreements for the individual and mail order trade in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia for the workforce.
Wages for employees in the warehouse were around 15 percent above those of Zalando in these contracts. In addition, there would be higher surcharges, shorter weekly working hours, tariff pension and further improvements. The union referred to a good business development of the fashion retailer.
