Collective bargaining in the metal and electrical industry in Baden-Württemberg is not making any real headway. There is still no offer from employers. IG Metall threatens to go on warning strikes.
Böblingen (dpa / lsw) - The collective bargaining for the approximately one million employees in the metal and electrical industry in the southwest will go into the third round on Thursday in Böblingen (1 p.m.). IG Metall asked the employers' association Südwestmetall to submit an offer. In the industry with almost four million employees nationwide, the peace obligation expires on Friday.
From Saturday, warning strikes are possible, for example, at car manufacturers, machine builders or other metal companies. The action plans of IG Metall, which is demanding 8.0 percent more money, are already in full swing.
Before that, however, the regional negotiators in the tariff areas of Bavaria, the coast and the center (Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland) will also meet in addition to the south-west for the third round. Employers are expected to put an initial offer on the table.
