The Verdi union and Deutsche Telekom have reached a collective agreement. The salaries of the approximately 55,000 employees would be increased in two stages by 2.7 to 3.1 percent in August 2022, depending on the salary group, and by a further 2.1 percent in June 2023, the Bonn-based Dax group announced after the third round of negotiations . In addition, one-off payments were agreed to compensate for inflation. Trainees and dual students would also get more money. In addition, protection against dismissal will be extended until December 31, 2024. Verdi negotiator Frank Sauerland spoke of a good result that creates security and prospects for Telekom employees. “In this way we are also counteracting the impending shortage of skilled workers,” said Sauerland. In the meantime, more than 10,000 employees had taken part in warning strikes to increase the pressure on the telecom group.
