Originaltext der Frage(n):<br /> <br /> Würde sich die Bundesregierung der Meinung der Gewerkschaft ver.di anschließen, dass die Praxis der Deutschen Post AG, befristeten Beschäftigten, deren Arbeitsverträge zum 31. März 2015 auslaufen, eine schlechter bezahlte unbefristete Anstellung in der neu gegründeten Tochtergesellschaft "Delivery" anzubieten und damit den gültigen Tarifvertrag zwischen Deutscher Post AG und ver.di zu umgehen, einen Fall von Tarifflucht darstellt (vgl. DIE WELT online, "Post plant Zweiklassen-Gesellschaft bei Paketboten", online unter: http://bit.ly/1Fs6yKx)?<br /> <br /> Welche Schritte plant die Bundesregierung angesichts des Vorhabens der Deutschen Post AG, bestehende Mitbestimmungsrechte und Tariflöhne durch die Tochtergesellschaft "Delivery" zu umgehen, um "mit einer klugen Arbeitsmarktpolitik die Weichen für [. . .] eine starke Sozialpartnerschaft von Arbeitgebern und Gewerkschaften" zu stellen, wie im Koalitionsvertrag zwischen CDU, CSU und SPD angekündigt?
