Economy - Verdi calls for warning strikes in the Münsterland retail sector
In the wage dispute in the retail, wholesale and foreign trade sectors, the trade union Verdi has called for work stoppages in Münsterland on Wednesday. A Verdi spokesperson announced on Tuesday evening that a rally of strikers was planned for the morning in Dülmen. "Christmas is just around the corner - and so are we!" was the message with a view to the final spurt in the important Christmas business. There has been no movement at the negotiating table for months. Verdi is demanding at least 2.50 euros more per hour for retail employees and a duration of one year.
