The Christian Union Post Service and Telecommunications is a Christian trade union in the CGB for employees of the companies Deutsche Telekom , Deutsche Post and Postbank as well as for employees in all letter, courier express parcel service, call center and telecommunications companies. The CGPT was founded in 1956 and is in favor of trade union freedom and against the trade union monopolies of the DGB . It works on the basis of Christian social teaching and its principles of solidarity, subsidiarity and personality. The federal office has been in Essen since 2012. The CGPT has six national associations. It claims to have around 5000 members. The CGPT is primarily against outsourcing in the core area of postal companies. The CGPT was one of six unions that had merged in 2002 to form the collective bargaining community of Christian unions for temporary work and personnel service agencies (CGZP), but left the association again in 2009.
Ulrich Bösl from Wadersloh was elected federal chairman at the 13th regular trade union day from September 13 to 16, 2005 in Lüneburg . Deputy federal chairmen are Gerhard Dannenberger from Baden-Württemberg and Hans-Joachim Hermann from North Rhine-Westphalia. At the trade union day in Fulda in 2009, Bösl was confirmed in office. In the elections to the supervisory board of E-Plus 2011, Kirstin Schmitt was able to successfully defend the CGPT seat. The CGPT is represented by three members on the Telegate Supervisory Board.
In the criticism end of July 2008 was a closed collective agreement with the postal company PostCon , then TNT Post Holding Germany GmbH, whose hourly wages between 6.50 euros and 7.50 euros East West from August 2008 to the statutory minimum wage of 8.00 euros and 9 East , 80 Euro West clearly undermined. The collective agreement with TNT was only negotiated after the post office minimum wage had failed in the courts (Administrative Court Berlin, OVG Berlin Brandenburg, BVG Leipzig). With the collective agreement, the CGPT ended the non-collective bargaining situation at TNT and abolished piece wages. The discussion was opened by the TV magazine Report Mainz on July 28, 2008. The collective agreements of the CGPT are currently at a significantly higher level, for beginners they are 7.60 euros. On average, wages are well over 8 euros.
The Federal Labor Court has in its judgment of 14 December 2010 (1 ABR 19/10) collective ability deprived of CGZP for the period from October of 2009. In May 2012, the CGPZ's incapacity for collective bargaining was extended to the areas of application of its previous statutes and thus to the entire period of its existence. It is not clear what effects this will have on the contracts concluded by the CGPT in the period up to its departure from the CGZP.
