Nationwide warning strike: Dispatch of drinking at REWE!
On July 2, 2025, the Food Guest Center (NGG) union calls for a 24-hour warning strike at the Rewe-Tear-Refined Drinks. This strike, which will affect ten locations of the company nationwide, takes place on Thursday. Locations in Neumünster, Hamburg, Bremen, Hanover, Limburg, Neubrandenburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden and Frankfurt am Main are particularly affected. However, no concern is expected in southern Germany.
The NGG negotiator Philipp Thom expressed that this strike will challenge the logistics network of drinking, since drinks in these hot months are particularly in demand in the summer months. Thom does not expect large -scale article bottlenecks, but indicates that articles that are already sold out cannot be refilled immediately. In North Rhine-Westphalia, the strikes could have more effects than in the northern and eastern federal states.
background of the collective bargaining
The background of the warning strikes are the stalling collective bargaining, which have not yet made an agreement after two rounds. The employer has submitted an offer that provides for a wage increase in two levels and that the income of the employees is a total of 155 euros more per month. In contrast, the NGG calls for a wage increase of 300 euros per month for the approximately 1,700 drinks.
The employer's offer is considered disappointing by Thom, as it could lead to many employees still have to work under the minimum wage. The NGG's demands aim to fundamentally improve the conditions for the employees and to raise wages to an acceptable level. This is particularly relevant because Trinks mainly supplies Rewe and other super and beverage markets.
drinks and the corporate structure
The Rewe group holds 50 percent of the shares in drinking, while the remaining shares are equally distributed to the Bitburger, Krombacher and Warsteiner breweries. With around 1,700 employees at a total of 16 locations across Germany, Trinks is a central player in beverage logistics and plays an important role in supplying retail.
Overall, these warning strikes represent a clear expression of the protest of the employees against inadequate working conditions. According to Getrraenke-news.de, the current developments are not ready to give up the negotiations and rather hope for a fair solution.
