With the 2023 retail pay talks stuck, Aldi Nord raised tariff pay for its more than 39,000 store staff in Germany by 5.3% from 1 October, to be set against whatever ver.di and the employers finally agreed.

About 700 Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 workers walked out of the off-Strip Virgin Hotels Las Vegas in the union's first open-ended strike in over 22 years, holding 24/7 picket lines until members ratified a five-year contract on 22 January 2025.

Staff shut dozens of Aldi stores across Belgium, about 60 by the next day, after managers told them the chain was exploring Sunday opening to keep up with Lidl and other rivals.

Aldi presented unions with a plan to open all its Belgian stores on Sundays from 8:30 to 13:00, staffed by volunteers paid a premium or given extra leave; unions said the hours break the Sunday closing law.
