Overview

• The new agreement provides BVG employees with a €430 monthly pay raise over two years, retroactive to January 2025.
• Workers will also receive a one-time €1,500 payment covering the first five months of 2025, alongside increased allowances and holiday bonuses.
• 65% of Verdi union members voted to accept the deal, officially ending the labor conflict that included eight days of strike action.
• Mediation by former state premiers Matthias Platzeck and Bodo Ramelow helped resolve the dispute after six rounds of negotiations.
• While the deal ensures stability until late 2026, labor actions could resume in early 2026 when the framework agreement expires.
