On 27 March, the management of the German postal group Deutsche Post AG and the Verdi trade-union federation signed an agreement bringing the 13,000 employees who were hived off in 2015 back into the group, within regional subsidiaries applying the logistics collective agreement; this is less protective and generous than that of the postal sector (see press release issued by Uni Europa: https://www.uniglobalunion.org/news/one-workforce-one-agreement-verdi-ends-two-tiered-workforce-germanys-post). The transfer will take place on 1 July 2019 and the employees concerned will enjoy a guarantee against being made redundant until the end of 2022. According to Uni Europa, taking this step should enable the group to make savings on administrative and management costs linked to the various subsidiaries, and should also make the job more attractive, with a view to recruiting 5,000 drivers this year.
