German Labor Union Backs Off Deutsche Telekom Deal

An AP newswire article by Matt Moore, via SFGate.com, reports that:

The German labor union ver.di on Thursday backed off a tentative agreement with Deutsche Telekom AG over the company's plans to cut thousands of jobs through 2008.

Bonn-based Deutsche Telekom said in November that it planned to cut 32,000 jobs as part of a 3.3 billion euros ($3.9 billion) plan to restructure its operation and rein in expenses.

The service workers' union ver.di said Wednesday it had reached a compromise with Deutsche Telekom negotiators about the package of cuts, but neither the union nor the company released any details.
