Industry and exports are under pressure, and companies are reviewing their locations and costs. In this situation, a sense of proportion and responsibility are needed. An indefinite strike would be a disproportionate step, given the current state of negotiations and the offer that ver.di has put to its members for a vote,\u201d says Torben Seebold, chief negotiator for the ZDS. He points out that German seaports are in direct competition with other European port locations and that, in the event of prolonged disruptions, the flow of goods could simply be diverted there. \u201cWe have put forward a substantial offer that recognises the performance and commitment of the workforce whilst also taking into account the economic constraints of the companies,\u201d Seebold continued.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Photo: HHLA \/ Nele Martensen<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HAMBURG In light
