Tariff loyalty: SPD before the last chance in the state parliament - voter fraud expected

If it goes to the Brandenburg SPD, a tariff loyalty should be decided before the state election on September 22nd. The SPD would have a majority for this together with the Greens and the Left Party in the state parliament. However, the CDU blocks the project and after the forecasts, this will not change after the election. Although the CDU is likely to be added, the SPD, the left and Greens also have losses that the BSW Wagenknecht party cannot be absorbed.

The last chance for a collective bargaining clausel exists before parliament. However, it is expected that the SPD of Prime Minister Dietmar Woidke will pass this opportunity and promise higher wages again in the state election campaign, which could be regarded as voter fraud.

The German Trade Union Confederation recommends choosing candidates for the local elections on June 9 and the state election on September 22 who want to work for collective agreements. If the voters follow this advice, the election result could differ from the current forecasts.

A tariff loyalty should ensure that companies that receive public orders comply with minimum wages and collective agreements. This is intended to prevent dumping wages and unfair working conditions. The introduction of such a clause is supported by unions and parts of politics, while some companies and business associations argue that this could affect competitiveness.

A table with information on the current survey values ​​of the parties in Brandenburg and the distribution of seats in the state parliament could offer added value:

| Party | Poll values ​​(%) | Seat distribution |
| ——————— | ——————————- |
| SPD | 23 | 30 |
| CDU | 19 | 23 |
| AfD | 21 | 23 |
| Green | 12 | 10 |
| Left | 9 | 14 |
| BSW (Wagenknecht) | 6 | - |
| Other | 10 | - |

The survey values ​​show that the SPD, CDU and left -wing will probably lose seats in the state parliament, while the AfD, Greens and BSW (Wagenknecht) are expected to gain seats. This could make the negotiations on a collective bargaining clause more difficult after the election, since in this case several parties would probably be involved.

It remains to be seen whether the Brandenburg voters follow the advice of the German Trade Union Confederation and choose candidates who want to work for collective agreements. This could have a significant impact on the election decision and lead to a different result than is currently predicted by the opinion researchers.
