About the DHL ITS Prague Workers Union
The DHL ITS Prague Workers Union is a collective that represents all employees of DHL ITS in the Czech Republic. Operating under the ICT Union, we aim to uphold DHL’s values while advocating for the rights and well-being of all workers.
We are part of the ICT/Information and Communication Technology sectoral union, which is a member of the OSPPP (Trade Union Federation of Finance and Insurance Workers). For more information, please visit the ICT FAQ.
