Joint final statement by the German National Contact Point for the OECD on the complaint by UNI/ITF against DP-DHL/Bonn

The national contact point (NCP) of the OECD in Germany on 30 January 2014 issued a ruling accepted by UNI Global Union and the International Transport Workers' Federation (ITF), as well as by Deutsche Post DHL, thereby ending the dispute between the two trade union federations and the Deutsche Post DHL postal and logistics giant that has been ongoing since 2012.

The ruling issued by the national contact point, to ensure follow-up of the efforts made in five countries where the OECD Guidelines have not been observed (Colombia, India, Indonesia, Turkey and Vietnam) and to improve the contacts between the complainants and the group, provides for the parties to meet at three-monthly intervals, which will allow social dialogue to be maintained and "opportunities to be created to resolve conflicts, particularly those relating to the right of association, in a direct and responsible way," underlined UNI Global Union. A record of every meeting is to be sent to the German NCP for the coming two years.
