educators of the state -owned daycare centers in Berlin are called for a full -day warning strike for Thursday. According to Verdi, around 3,000 people demonstrated in front of the House of Representatives.

According to the Verdi union, around 3,000 daycare companies took part in a strike rally in Berlin on Thursday. Verdi had previously called up the staff of the state -owned daycare centers on Thursday to an all -day Warnstreik . According to Verdi, employees of the state-owned day care centers, but also other institutions such as the AWO Berlin.

Background is the collective bargaining dispute for the public service of the federal states. Verdi also wanted to point out the lack of staff with the strike. Many educators felt overloaded, it was said.

As part of the strike rally in front of the House of Representatives in Berlin, educational senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch (CDU) should be handed over to a collective risk indicator on Thursday, which should be signed by more than 3,100 educators. As Verdi announced, the senator is said to have refused to accept on Thursday.

In addition to the daycare workers, social workers and educators in youth, health and social welfare offices of the Berlin districts also want to resign.

The unions require 10.5 percent more salary for the approximately 1.1 million employees in the public service of the federal states, but at least 500 euros per month. The collective bargaining community of the federal states has not yet submitted an offer. Negotiations are to be continued in December.

On Thursday, there is to be on strike in several federal states in the social and educational service, including in Bremen and Hamburg.

The protest in Berlin is under the Motto "The Akku is empty" . Especially through large groups, noise and narrow spaces, many educators feel overloaded in everyday day care centers. Often, for example, they even take home documentation work, say employees. They also report that it is often only about the custody of the children.

According to Verdi, around 7,600 pedagogical specialists work at the Kita-owned company, which is around a fifth of the daycare places in Berlin.
