ver.di Supports Wisconsin Public Workers and All Workers Who Want Bargaining Rights
ver.di, the union representing more than 2 million workers in Germany, has contacted Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, urging him to “choose a constructive path and stand by the commitments that have already been set out in legally-negotiated collective agreements.”
ver.di and CWA are working together and have formed TU, a joint global union representing T-Mobile workers in Germany and the U.S. German workers and citizens are appalled by Deutsche Telekom’s double standard: T-Mobile workers in Germany have full bargaining rights and workers’ rights are respected by management, contrary to the fear and harassment workers face in the U.S.
ver.di called Walker’s actions “an attack on one of the fundamental pillars in a well-developed democracy” and called on the governor to stop the attacks on public workers and their unions.
