IG Metall Escalates Nationwide Warnstreiks Amid Stalled Wage Talks
The union demands a 7% wage increase as negotiations with employers in the metal and electronics sectors remain unresolved.
- The third round of wage negotiations between IG Metall and employers has ended without an agreement, prompting continued warnstreiks across Germany.
- IG Metall is demanding a 7% wage increase and a €170 rise in training allowances, while employers have offered a 3.6% increase over 27 months.
- Significant participation in strikes has been reported, with thousands of workers in Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony, and other regions joining the protests.
- Employers cite economic pressures and a recession as reasons for their limited offer, while the union argues for increased wages to counteract inflation's impact on purchasing power.
- Further negotiations are scheduled for November 11 in Hamburg, with hopes for a potential pilot agreement that could influence other regions.
