Tariffs - Another warning strike by teachers and university employees
Teachers and university employees in Saxony have once again called a warning strike on Wednesday. One day before the next round of collective bargaining for state employees, the unions want to put the pressure on once again. They are planning a central rally in front of the Ministry of Finance in Dresden in the morning.
Teachers were already called to strike last week. According to the unions, more than 7,000 people from Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia took part in a rally in Leipzig. The effects at the schools varied - from emergency care being provided to largely scheduled lessons.
The next round of collective bargaining with the federal states is planned for Thursday in Potsdam. Among other things, the unions are demanding a 10.5 percent pay rise, but at least 500 euros. Salary increases for around 2.5 million employees are being negotiated nationwide.
