ver.di Vereinte Dienstleistungsgewerkschaft Review

Pure populists. Just ask what the chairman earns. Members, don't be dumbfounded!

At Verdi it is part of good manners despite membership for temporary workers starvation wages. In the parcel center you are unabashedly bullied as a lender because your union is happy to mock and laugh at you.

To conclude: As a low-earning employee in the public service, I am disadvantaged compared to my colleagues, who are sometimes much higher

Basically, a visually appealing large building. A canteen that is also open to guests and has great changing menus. The union as such is also great. Competent and nice people wherever you look!

Verdi an important place in Berlin.

Canteen in the house accessible to everyone but not necessarily recommended.

I have been trying to get out of the club since October, terminated several times in writing (by registered mail and acknowledgment of receipt) and by email. No answer so far. Delay tactic?
I cannot recommend you to anyone. Public transport shutdown several times is poor! There are people who work shifts and are dependent on public transport. I just say ugh! !

These BVG strikes are unreasonable. Taking a city hostage is irresponsible.

What you also denounced by the denial of public transport by congestion of the "Berlin air" condemned.

I should have read the reviews before. The only distinction seems to be the "beautiful building" and the "good canteen with large portions". Of course that's what you want from a union.
Then unfriendly employees, no help and support and a shitty .. termination regulations are not so bad.

I regret being a member and cannot recommend it to anyone !!!

I paid for this useless association for over a year, and if I needed their help, first I would be told that the man would have to pay for membership for at least 3 months, the second time I needed help I would be asked to send all my documents by mail ( Pay slips, etc.) then only silence, nobody answered the phone, NO ONE HELPED. When I wanted to quit, I was told that for some strange reason I had to pay for 6 months even though I had been self-employed since September! Really outrageous. It's just a scam.

Unfortunately, we have had only bad experiences and will cancel the membership.

Low-income earners and consumers who suffer financial damage from the strikes should also be relieved financially by ver.di. If flights are canceled and consumers have to resort to alternative, more expensive airlines, the difference is not reimbursed by the original airline, but only the ticket price of the original flight. The reason - which I also fully understand - is that it is a matter of force majeure and the airline cannot do anything about it. In short, if you cause the consumer, additional costs, anger and (travel) stress from strikes, at least the additional costs should be borne by ver.di. Please change and become more consumer-friendly - you probably know best that low-wage earners cannot just accept such additional financial costs.

Unfortunately had negative experiences. With us for over 10 years, if you need help they are gone. This is what happens in Lower Franconia, so I can only speak for there. Membership is terminated ... what a shame for the money, because you prefer to invest in legal protection. It's even cheaper than membership when ver.di is all too much. What happens if the employer does not pay or if things are rough? Turned to Ver.di for help. It didn't happen. It would have taken up to 6 months to get my wages. Well Ver.di I had brought in a lawyer specializing in labor law ...
Just the phrase "lawyer" worked wonders for my boss. Pay, no more insults, I am treated like a person. One call and everything is organized. It was too much for you with all the work you have to do for the members for 3 minutes.

... only together we are strong: solidarity is necessary!

Union just ..... Just like union people think of the structural progress. Boring, but if you are in the upper seminar rooms ....... a great view over the Spree

Let's hope for more digitization and automation so that all paying customers at rail, airport and Co. no longer need to be served by Verdi members as soon as possible, because then they have finally made themselves superfluous.

In the canteen there is the possibility to get good food at fair prices. For DGB members even cheaper. And the portions are actually so that you get full.

Premium fraud organized by ver.di officials via my bank account:

I was originally a member of the ver.di Rhein-Neckar branch. The former ver.di management in Rhein-Neckar has stolen bonuses for the promotion of members in favor of another ver.di official. According to the ver.di guidelines, ver.di employees are prohibited from collecting bonuses for recruiting members because they already receive a reasonable salary from ver.di. Therefore, premium payments are only reserved for ordinary or voluntary members. On the admission sheets of new members, the ver.di employee entered my information on a proposal by the ver.di management so that the accounting department pays the bonuses. The ver.di district management then informed me that premium payments would be made to my bank account. I would have to transfer this to the ver.di employee. I was completely perplexed; I had never recruited ver.di members. Some time later, ver.di actually received payments for member advertisements several times. I have ordered ver.di accounting to stop payments. In the meantime, I have filed a complaint with the public prosecutor. Since then, she has been investigating fraud against ver.di officials.

Everything you expect from a union.
The public canteen is also OK.

These constant strikes annoy !!!!!
I only earn the minimum wage and do not strike

Paid well for years and when I needed help I didn't get any, just talk out! I quit. Labor law is part of the legal protection insurance anyway. You don't even manage to add the correct departure date to confirmations of termination
