Overview
- Verdi said it will widen full‑shift warning strikes at Deutsche Telekom to more regions.
- Several parts of the group will be affected, which could slow customer service and field repairs and prompt fiber build delays and appointment cancellations.
- More than 3,000 workers joined the first actions, with further stoppages planned in additional federal states.
- Verdi says the escalation follows talks that ended without an offer from employers.
- The talks span 20 Telekom units with separate contracts, and Verdi seeks a 6.6% raise over 12 months for about 60,000 staff plus a €660 yearly bonus for union members.
