Around 10,000 Deutsche Post workers intend to strike over the German organisation’s plan to outsource its parcel delivery service to the newly established Delivery Ltd. across 49 regional branches.

Labour union Verdi has also revealed that it will call for further strikes over the coming days, following the recent collapse of a round of talks concerning pay disputes.

Deutsche Post announced plans to create 10,000 new jobs by 2020. However, workers were required to accept lower wages as the firm attempts to maintain its dominant position in a rapidly growing and increasingly competitive market.
