Kyndryl terminates collective agreements: ver.di calls for return to the social partnership
A storm of outrage brides: The United Service Union (ver.di) raises the alarm! Kyndryl, the global giant in the area of IT infrastructure, has made a bang with its recent decision: the termination of all collective agreements in Germany! "With this, Kyndryl finally dropped his masks!" Says Christoph Schmitz-Detlefsen, an important member of the ver.di federal executive board. "The interests of the employees are kicked with feet!"
The wave of indignation is no coincidence. On Monday, September 30, 2024, the union received the shocking message: Kyndryl has terminated all collective agreements with effect at the end of the year. This affects not only Kyndryl Deutschland GmbH, but also Kyndryl Aviation Industria Services GmbH and Kyndryl Deutschland Business & Technology Services GmbH. Among the terminated contracts there are important agreements such as the payroll collective agreement, the collective agreement on general employment conditions and many others!
a massive step backwards for the employees!
"With this drastic decision, Kyndryl says of a long -grown network of good working conditions. This is a massive step back for all employees!" So continue. The group had already refused to secure real wages for the employees in the 2024 tariff round. "Kyndryl continues this anti -employed course," he criticizes sharply.
Kyndryl is not an unknown player! The listed company with headquarters in the USA employs almost 90,000 people worldwide-in Germany there are around 700. But now the IT service provider shows itself from a completely different side: as an employer who breaks his own promises to employees! "We ask Kyndryl to return to the social partnership!" emphasizes ver.di, which is still available for talks.
a dangerous trend for the IT industry!
In the industry in which the need for skilled workers is extremely high, Kyngry has disqualified himself! The assertion that the focus is on employees proves to be pure self -promotion. This decision could not only worsen the working conditions dramatically, but also influence other companies in the industry. What will Kyngry do next?
