The trade union Verdi has called on its employees in Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia to go on warning strike in the collective bargaining negotiations at Deutsche Telekom. "The aim is to get around 1,500 strikers on the streets today," said union secretary René List. In total, Deutsche Telekom has between 7,500 and 8,000 employees in the three federal states, according to List.
The first strikes had already taken place in other federal states on Tuesday. Verdi justified the warning strike with a disappointing second round of collective bargaining without an offer from the employers.
