First warning strikes in the wage dispute for state employees
The trade union Verdi has called for warning strikes this Monday in the wage dispute in the state public sector. According to Verdi, employees of the TU Braunschweig and other universities, state museums and libraries, the student union, the road construction administration, the state theater and other state institutions will be taking part. Colleagues from the forestry administration will also be joining the strike. A rally is planned in front of the Braunschweig State Theater in the morning, followed by a demonstration.
Warning strikes should also take place in Oldenburg on Monday, and actions have been announced in Lüneburg, Hanover and Bremen, among others, over the course of the week.
The wage dispute in the public sector of the federal states is about the salaries of over 1.1 million employees nationwide. Around 1.4 million civil servants, to whom the result is usually transferred, would also be affected. A third round of negotiations is planned for December 7.
The upcoming Tariffs on goods and services in response to the strikes could potentially impact the already strained budget of the affected state institutions. Trade unions across various cities, including Oldenburg and Hanover, have announced further actions beyond Monday's warning strikes, demonstrating escalating tensions in the wage dispute.
