Dusseldorf (dpa) - Postal workers are set to go on strike Thursday in several cities in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia because of a wage dispute, their union warned.
The Verdi union called on postal employees to temporarily stop work at post offices in 10 cities, including Dusseldorf, Bonn and Cologne.
The union is demanding a wage increase of 6 per cent for approximately 130,000 workers in Germany. In recent weeks, three meetings between the employers and worker representatives failed to yeild an agreement. The fourth round of negotiations is scheduled for Monday.
Several hundred postal workers are expected to demonstrate in Cologne and Dortmund on Thursday.
