In addition to the dividend issue, the management of Deutsche Telekom didn’t present a figured offer until one and a half month of negotiations had passed, which is the exact opposite of what Verdi is asking. “This offer is non-negotiable.

His union wants a 6.5% increase over 12 month, with a €170 minimum guaranteed monthly increase, as well as a €70-90 monthly increase for apprentices.
