Verdi and the BDV are calling on 4,500 Postbank employees to go on warning strikes. Customers must expect restrictions nationwide.

Verdi is calling for an extension of protection against dismissal for Postbank. Deutsche Bank wants to close 250 of the 550 Postbank branches by mid-2026 and reduce staff. If Deutsche Bank does not improve its offer, the union plans to hold a strike vote on indefinite strikes. The strike by service employees is likely to have consequences for Post bank customers nationwide.
