Bad Hersfeld – The trade union Verdi wants to temporarily suspend their industrial action at online retailer Amazon on Sunday. There are two reasons for this. The first: In the shipping centers in the Hessian town of Bad Hersfeld and Leipzig one has failed in an attempt to take legal action against the planned there Sunday work, said the Verdi trade expert in Hesse, Bernhard Schiederig. He spoke of a “clear breach of the law,” the authorities which issued the permit for Sunday work
The second reason. According Verdi Amazon employees at the affected work on Sundays locations already volunteered for the reported work on the fourth Sunday in Advent. Also, would not you working on two more locations planned strike on Sunday anyway, Schiederig justified the strike day off. On Monday, the labor dispute should also be continued as planned.
An Amazon spokeswoman at the company’s headquarters in Munich did not even comment on the dispute and the question of how many workers on Sunday in Bad Hersfeld and Leipzig will work. In the ongoing conflict since 2013 Verdi wants to force that Amazon pays for the retail instead of the lower logistics plan.
However, Amazon said no again, it’ll be delayed because of the strike for deliveries: “Our employees are proud to be involved because the customers get their Christmas parcel on time,” it said. Amazon is in the Christmas season in Germany a permanent workforce of 10,000 employees, and another 10,000 seasonal workers a.
At the current strike participate by Amazon information about 2000 employees, Verdi speaks of 2400. Bad Hersfeld alone it should have been in the last few days about 600. There, said a representative of Verdi, Amazon employees reported a backlog of orders. The union also receive e-mails from customers, according to which delivery times are longer than usual.
The online edition of the “FAZ” published on Friday, however, a non-representative readership survey. She points out that Amazon can actually deliver on time in most cases.
