Deutsche Post DHL is to create several thousands of jobs by 2020 as a result of continued sustainable growth in the parcel business. By 2025 the total number of new jobs could be as high as 20,000. New parcel delivery companies are to be founded under the umbrella of DHL Delivery GmbH and these companies will be recruiting suitable employees over the coming weeks and months.
Staff working in the new companies shall be employed in line with the regionally applicable collective terms and conditions for the forwarding and logistics sector, as negotiated between industry employers’ associations and the trade union ver.di. The conditions in question substantially exceed minimum wage requirements.
Existing Deutsche Post AG employment contracts shall remain unaffected.
Permanent employment contracts
The first companies are to start recruiting new employees straight away. During the recruitment process, favour will be given to Deutsche Post AG employees on a fixed-term contract which is soon to expire. Employees will be offered a permanent employment contract.
The first regions in which the new companies will take over designated parcel delivery districts include Rostock, Berlin, Hamburg, Bremen, Frankfurt am Main, Wiesbaden, Nuremberg and Karlsruhe.
“For many years, we have been guaranteeing that everyone in Germany can benefit from a postal infrastructure which is, even by international standards, of exceptional quality – whilst also offering by far the best working conditions in our industry. And we aim to carry on doing so.” commented Board Member, Jürgen Gerdes. “In light of the significant discrepancy in wage costs with our competitors, we are, however, not able to realize this with the existing wage structure. Whilst giving our parcel business a strong, future-proof foundation, these new companies afford us the opportunity to create new, attractive and above all permanent jobs with competitive wages – without infringing upon the salaries of existing employees.

10,000 new parcel delivery jobs for Deutsche Post DHL
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Deutsche Post to create thousands of jobs on lower pay
https://au.news.yahoo.com/world/a/26071 ... lower-pay/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
BONN (Reuters) - Deutsche Post is expanding its DHL parcel business in Germany, but new workers will have to accept lower wages than the group's other employees as the postal and logistics group tries to compete in a rapidly growing industry.
The company plans to create 10,000 new jobs at the parcel business by 2020, a figure which could rise to around 20,000 by 2025, it said on Thursday.
The additional jobs will offer pay based on collective wage agreements for the logistics sector, rather than Deutsche Post's more generous in-house agreement, putting the company on collision course with workers' representatives.
"Parcel delivery is not sustainable under existing wage agreements, the competitive disadvantage is not viable," management board member Juergen Gerdes told Reuters in an interview.
Deutsche Post has in the past said personnel costs at its parcel delivery business were about twice as high as those of competitors. Gerdes said attempts to achieve an agreement with union Verdi on more "market-adjusted" wages have so far failed.
"If we don't act, the future of the division will be at risk," he said.
Union Verdi criticised the plans as being designed to side-step existing pay agreements.
Like other former postal service monopolies in Europe, Deutsche Post is seeing its traditional letter business dwindle while deliveries of parcels are rising thanks to online retailing.
However, the parcels sector in Europe, in which UPS , TNT and UK Mail are also active, is seeing increased competition, with online retailer Amazon.com also carrying out more of its own deliveries.
Another former monopoly, Britain's Royal Mail has warned of slowing growth in the UK parcels market and on Thursday reported letter volumes down 3 percent in the first nine months of its financial year.
Deutsche Post is not the only company to make use of lower logistics pay deals in Germany.
Amazon has seen repeated strike action by warehouse workers in Germany as Verdi pressures the U.S. company to pay workers according to mail order and retail sector collective pay deals rather than those in the logistics sector.
