Massive warning strike in Berlin and Brandenburg: IG Metall demands seven percent more wages!

Brandenburg an der Havel, Deutschland - in Berlin and Brandenburg, the employees of the metal and electrical industry called on Tuesday to warning strikes. Under the leadership of the IG Metall, Mercedes employees in Berlin and ZF in Brandenburg an der Havel are on strike to put pressure on employers for higher wages. Dirk Schulze, the district manager, emphasizes: "We need a degree that strengthens purchasing power." In Berlin the strikes begin at 9 a.m., while in Brandenburg the work was laid down at 5 a.m.

IG Metall demands a wage increase of seven percent for a period of twelve months, but employers only offer 3.6 percent over 27 months, which leads to conflicts. The association of the metal and electrical industry criticizes the warning strikes and warns of production failures. Other warning strikes are already being planned to maintain the pressure on employers and to reach an agreement that offers employees more financial security.
