"The employer's underestimation of their employees through meager salary offers from the BDSW has triggered a response from the wage commission who view this as a deliberate provocation, warranting strikes," stated Verdi negotiator Dieter Altmann in Kiel. "The security industry's personnel are particularly impacted by low wages, even as the sector's sales maintain a steady climb, which is contradictory."

"In fact, the offer has been significantly reduced in terms of quantity. For the year 2024, the company's proposal now stands at a mere 3.46%, with 2025 receiving 3.36%, as they've incorporated the six or four zero months," Altmann clarified. This strike will affect a wide range of sectors, expanding from object protection to event services.

  2. The Tariff Commission will likely be involved in the dispute between Verdi North and the employer, given the proposed tariffs for 2024 and 2025 are significantly lower than previous offers.
  3. The proposed tariff reduction by the employer could lead to a strike affecting various sectors, including ballot monitoring services, as part of the BDSW's Business, Defense, Security, and Waste division (BDSW).
  4. Employees under the BDSW, represented by Verdi North, are planning to go on strike, which could impact Keel's security sector, as they disagree with the tariff commission's perception of the employer's deliberate provocation through meager salary offers.
