The Verdi union is calling on employees in Hamburg’s retail sector to go on a warning strike today. The background is collective bargaining in retail and mail order. The call is aimed at employees of H&M, Zara and Ikea, as the statement says. At H&M, a city center store and logistics are affected.
Negotiations between the union and the North Trade Association are scheduled to continue on Monday. The union complains that the employer representatives have not yet submitted an offer.
Verdi is calling for the wages and salaries of around 90,000 employees to be increased by seven percent. The gross monthly payment should increase by at least 225 euros.
