ver.di is a German non-profit organization that functions as a labor union, representing workers across sectors and engaging in collective bargaining and labor advocacy. Based in Berlin, Germany, it participates in negotiations with employers and supports social dialogue within the economy. In 2026, ver.di announced a collective agreement with Lufthansa City Airlines covering cockpit and cabin crew at the regional subsidiary, illustrating its role in sector-specific bargaining. The organization collaborates with other unions and civil society groups through alliances, including a partnership with DGB Frankfurt to form the Alliance for a Socially Responsible Mobility Transition, and it engages in broader mobility reform initiatives and research. It conducts policy-relevant studies and events, such as the Mobility Transition Needs Good Work project with Climate Alliance Germany, and pursues protections for workers, including efforts to shield women from violence and sexual assault at work. The union has also led actions in the transportation sector, including a 2024 airport security strike at Hamburg Airport that halted passenger departures.
