Dear VERDI colleagues in Deutsche Post DHL
Our organisation Tümtis is part of the international family of unions representing
workers in the DP-DHL Group worldwide, working together under the umbrella of
global unions UNI and ITF (*). We have recently been informed about management’s
full-on attack against a signed contract and understand that you consider this an
unprecedented breach of the collective agreement which is in place to protect workers
in Germany against unlimited outsourcing. In addition to that, thousands of high-quality
jobs are threatened to be outsourced into a low-cost subsidiary “DHL Delivery” through
this appalling management manoeuvre.
· With this message, we call upon corporate management in Bonn to abide by the
contract it has signed! A breach of a collective agreement must not be allowed, and we
express our outrage about this behaviour!
· With this message, we express our full solidarity with our brothers and sisters in
Germany in your fight for workers rights! We stand by you shoulder to shoulder and will
support you in your struggle.
Yours in Solidarity,
Kenan Öztürk
Tümtis
