Two of UNI’s Dutch affiliates, the FNV Bondgenoten and the ABVAKABO FNV along with Ver.di, demonstrated on the 18th April at the Dutch – German border at Gronau, North Rhine-Westphalia, to show that they oppose to the social dumping-strategy of TNT the Dutch post & logistics group. TNT-Post in Germany have been vigorously trying to avoid paying the minimum wage for postal workers which was recently brought into law by the German parliament. The unions have asked the German Federal Minister of Finance Peer Steinbrück (SPD), to ensure that the post minimum wage is observed by TNT and have said that it is his obligation to maintain this law.
