News memo
in the daily publication Die Welt from 12 March reports that Deutsche Post (DP) was preparing a significant restructuring. The article indicated the German postal giant was in the process of creating a single distribution (letters and packages) entity that would encapsulate all DP postal delivery workers who come under the scope of the ‘house agreement’ as well as workers with DHL Delivery, its low-cost subsidiary established in 2015. Since DHL Delivery workers are paid in line with a separate remuneration protocol, trade unions immediately accused Deutsche Post of seeking to ultimately worsen direct DP workers’ working conditions and remuneration protocols. A Deutsche Post spokesperson vigorously denied this assuring Planet Labor that these fears were devoid of any basis, declining however to comment publicly on the company’s ‘internal organization issues’.
