Tariffs - Verdi: Around 300 participants in retail wage protest
According to the trade union Verdi, around 300 people protested outside Ikea's German headquarters in Hofheim-Wallau on Saturday due to the wage dispute in the retail and mail order sector. According to Verdi, warning strikes for more money and better working conditions also involved workers from other retail companies.
According to Verdi, employees from the Esprit, H&M, Kaufland, Metro, Douglas, Penny, Primark, Rewe and Zara chains are also taking part in the warning strikes in Hesse.
Verdi is demanding at least 2.50 euros more per hour for retail employees and a duration of one year. Further demands will be made depending on the federal state. In the regional negotiations, the employers recently offered a ten percent increase plus an inflation adjustment bonus for a term of two years. The negotiations affect millions of employees.
