News memo
On May 24, the social partners at Deutsche Post DHL (DPDHL), which employs 471,000 people (40 percent in Germany, 25 percent in the rest of Europe), signed a new agreement on the information and consultation of European employees. It renews the initial agreement of July 23, 2003 which created DPDHL Forum, which gathers the EWC and a committee representing management. The aim was to take account of the new 2009/38 Directive, to make some changes official, such as the creation of sub-committees per activity, and mostly to better define information/consultation procedures, which used to be quite vague. While the partners still cannot agree on the concept of "cross border" measures, employee representatives were able to secure double training days. Elmar Kallfelz, leader of the EWC and co-president of the DPDHL Forum, is commenting this new agreement for Planet Labor. (Ref. 120442)
