Did you know the former public monopolist does not pay any turnover tax when they sell to private customers? They are even so powerful that now their competitors are exempt as well, only to not have them pay themselves. It's their tradition, their 18 year long CEO Zumwinkel also didn't pay his taxes ;-) <br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div><span lang="en"><span><span>I

Have a look how many civil actions their competitors have initiated, mostly for public subventions and exploitation of a dominant position. Deutsche Post is not only the dominant national postal service, it is also still owned, in part, by the public. What is true: their (new) employees are no civil servants any more and can be fired like anybody else. And they are retreating from their customers, outsourcing to "service partners" and closing their offices. <br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div> And this postal service
