Employers in Germany's metalworking and electrical industry presented a first offer in the second round of collective bargaining. The IG Metall union called it insufficient, and warning strikes could follow as early as the end of the week. Tagesschau ↗
Negotiations also began on October 27 in the state of Baden-Württemberg, where employers presented an offer for workers in the metalworking and electrical industry. According to figures from the Gesamtmetall association, it includes a one-time payment of one percent of annual gross wages, to be paid in July. Deutschlandfunk ↗
The overall employer offer envisages a wage increase of 1.3 percent. In Bavaria, unions and employees view it as a proposal significantly below the inflation rate. At the same time, employers are declaring an effort to reduce wage costs in the metalworking and electrical industry. Die Zeit ↗
IG Metall rejected the offer and considers it insufficient in light of its demands. The union is therefore signaling the possibility of warning strikes, which could begin as early as the end of the week. Tagesspiegel ↗
The outcome of further negotiations will depend on whether employers adjust their offer and whether positions on wage levels and overall labor costs can be brought closer together. If no agreement is reached, labor protests in the industry could spread.
