UNI Post & Logistics has sent a protest message to DHL management demanding that they reconsider their plans to move work affecting more than 750 DHL workers from Belgium to other European locations and urges all affiliates to send a similar letter.







Solidarity with the Belgium DHL workers





With great concern we have learned about the intention of a so-called “re-location” of the DHL European headquarters in Belgium.



Hundreds of colleagues will be affected by this company plan and will be moved like chess pieces from one location to another. It is of serious concern that we learn that workers who have been loyal to DHL for many years, without any thoughts of alternative strategies, were merely told that their jobs in Belgium will be deleted and that their lives will change forever!



To us this means a total disrespect of the employees. Therefore how can we trust the Deutsche Post DHL management when it promotes ‘respect’ as one of its main values.



We expect the full and worldwide recognition of the Trade Unions within Deutsche Post DHL. We further expect an open debate with the Trade Union on alternatives for this closure and solutions for the affected workers and their families.



With this letter, we would like to express our full support to the Belgian Unions and we will do everything possible to help you and our Belgian colleagues in these difficult times!



In Solidarity!
