Overview
- IG Metall and Avnet reached a wage deal after 14 hours of overnight talks following a three-day open-ended strike.
- The agreement covers about 350 workers at the Poing logistics hub and grants high, age- and tenure-based severance plus a five-figure bonus for union members.
- Weekly working time drops from 40 to 37.5 hours with full pay starting in June, and wages rise 2.5 percent from July.
- Workers also receive a €1,000 net relief bonus and can earn up to three extra monthly salaries if productivity targets are met.
- The strike is suspended pending an IG Metall member vote requiring at least 25 percent approval, and the Poing site remains set to close at the end of the year.
