German union renews calls for Commerzbank independence after UniCredit's latest push

Verdi reiterated its call for Commerzbank to remain independent as UniCredit continues pursuing a takeover of the German lender. The update adds to the political and stakeholder resistance around the deal, but contains no new financial terms, regulatory action, or transaction timetable. Market impact is likely limited unless the opposition materially affects takeover odds.
