Comedia and Communications: union actions planned against Zuvo

The early newspaper delivery companies Zuvo and Prevag announced in March 2009 that they would be cutting the wages of their carriers massively. Although the Comedia and Kommunikation trade unions are not in a direct social partnership with Zuvo and Prevag, but do represent the interests of those affected as trade unions, they have called on the company managements to enter into negotiations with the trade unions. However, four rounds of talks have so far failed to find a satisfactory solution for the affected employees, as Comedia writes in a communiqué. The management is said to have refused to enter into real negotiations with the two unions.
Comedia and Kommunikation have now drawn up an action plan and will be launching the first union actions against Zuvo and Prevag in the near future. This may result in interruptions to home deliveries.
