parcel deli veries by the German Post have been delayed on St. Nicholas. “A lot of packages has broken down,” a spokesman for the trade union Verdi said on Saturday. Reason were on Friday evening three-hour operation meetings in 32 of the nation’s 33 parcel centers of the Bonn group. With the company meetings, the union wanted to protest against rising in their view, temporary jobs.

On the night of Saturday around 5 million parcels were processed. Only less than 200,000 did not reach on Saturday, but no later than Monday its recipients.
