A German labor union called on Deutsche Post AG employees to strike on Monday and Tuesday ahead of wage talks in which the workers are seeking a 15% pay rise.

Labor union Verdi called on Deutsche Post employees of selected operations nationwide to go on strike for two days ahead of talks scheduled to continue on Wednesday, Feb. 8. The strikes will affect letter and parcel centers as well as delivery, and will send a “clear signal” to the Bonn-based company, Verdi said.
