Overview
- The union called employees off the job from Monday to Tuesday in the first two-day walkout at the Leipzig warehouse, marking the third strike at the site.
- Ver.di argues high workloads after Black Week and Black Friday, overtime and sickness, and pay levels without a collective agreement are driving the action.
- Union officials highlight that many staff are migrants or refugees on temporary contracts who fear job and residence-permit loss if they speak up or strike.
- Ver.di alleges pressure on strikers through disciplinary transfers and one-on-one conversations, and it warns of further actions if talks do not start.
- Momox rejects the depiction of conditions, citing a €14.50 hourly wage above the €12.82 minimum, average annual pay rises of about 7.7%, limited strike impact, and roughly 1,400 employees at the Leipzig hub.
