BERLIN (Reuters) – Germany’s Verdi union has called on workers at Deutsche Bank’s DB Direkt GmbH subsidiary to go on a one day strike on Wednesday, it said, raising pressure in wage talks.
“Employers left the first round of negotiations without an offer. This is an affront to the workers, who are suffering from persistent high prices in light of low wages,” said Jan Duscheck, head of Verdi’s banking group said in a statement.
