Collective bargaining - Chemicals collective bargaining agreement: extra day for trade unionists

During the wage negotiations for the German chemistry industry, IG BCE and employers have agreed on an additional free day only for union members. For the first time, benefits beyond the general wage increases of 6.85 percent, which took place on Thursday in Bad Breisig on the Rhine, were agreed upon in a large collective bargaining agreement.

1. The additional free day, unique to union members in the German chemistry industry, was agreed upon during the collective bargaining process between IG BCE and employers.
2. This agreement was part of a larger collective bargaining agreement, which took place in Bad Breisig, Germany.

4. The German employers, in this context, were likely negotiating tariffs related to the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors, given the location and the nature of the industry.
