No outsourcing in the Mail unit until the end of 2011. At first glance, it looks as if Ver.di won from top to bottom. Thus, the management of the German post failed to impose a working time increase from 38.5 to 40 hours a week, and to postpone the 3% wage increase planned for December 1, 2009. On the other hand, the agreement banning outsourcing in the “Mail Delivery” department, which will expire at the end of the year, was extended until December 31, 2011. This was the main claim introduced by Ver.di (see our dispatch No. 090915). In August, to combat any outplacement measure, Ver.di terminated the agreement protecting employees transferred within the group after their job was cut (Rationalisierungsschutztarifvertrag). After the negotiations, the two parties agreed to revive and extend this agreement. “If the Deutsche Post cuts a job, it will have to offer another “decent” job to the employee” said Andrea Kocsis, VP of Ver.di, at a press conference on October 30. Finally, the agreement banning economic layoffs will be prolonged of six months, until the end of 2011. “This is an explicit agreement, which offers employees perspective and security for the next two years” Mrs. Kocsis rejoiced.
