On Wednesday, according to Verdi, the central warehouses in the Bavarian trade will be on strike. Therefore, there may be shortages in supply.
Regensburg – Bavarian retailers are still on strike after actions to this effect had already taken place at the beginning of May. Since the union and the employer were once again unable to agree on a new pay agreement, the next round of negotiations is scheduled for next week. In order to increase the pressure on the employers' side once again, Verdi called on employees in the central warehouses in particular to stop work on Wednesday, 7 June.

Verdi demands more salary – dealers point to reluctance of customers
The dispute is basically about more money for workers in the retail and wholesale trade. The current wage dispute is about a new pay contract, Verdi is demanding a significant wage increase from employers, according to BR.
The reason given by the union is that employees with rather low incomes are particularly affected by the current price increases. Retailers and wholesalers, on the other hand, point to saving customers and the associated loss of sales. (FHZ)
