Post minimum wage
In October 2007, the BdKEP mobilized against the post office minimum wage.

In addition, the BdKEP has filed a lawsuit against the statutory ordinance on the minimum postage wage according to the Posted Workers Act (AEntG), which came into force on January 1, 2008, at the Berlin Administrative Court. The postal union ver.di together with the postal services employers' association had applied for the minimum postage wage . Ver.di, for its part, announced a lawsuit against the postal companies that are not prepared to pay the postal minimum wage.
In its ruling on January 28, 2010, the Federal Administrative Court finally ruled out the postal minimum wage.
