Postal workers strike in Germany
Postal workers in Germany took industrial action this week. The Deutsche Post employees are seeking to ensure that their current protection against redundancies is upheld until 2011 and that their working week remains at 38.5 hours. They are also calling for a pay increase of around 7 percent. Management at the postal service are seeking to increase the working week to 41 hours.

They seem to be ratcheting up the pressure in Germany slowly but surely. From mutterings I have heard a General Strike by Public Sector workers is looking possible, unlikely but possible.
