Tariff dispute - Steel industry: call for all-day warning strikes
There have been further warning strikes in the wage dispute in the north-west German steel industry one day before the 5th round of negotiations. IG Metall had called for 24-hour work stoppages from 06:00 in Bochum, Bremen and Mülheim, among other places. "Everything is at a standstill here," said an IG Metall spokesperson at a Thyssenkrupp site in Bochum on Thursday morning. According to a spokesperson, around 300 employees gathered at another of the company's sites in Bochum. "The colleagues are pissed off," she said.
Among other things, the union is demanding a wage increase of 8.5 percent over a twelve-month period and a 32-hour week with full pay compensation. The employers have offered a one-off payment of 1,000 euros for January 2024 and a pay rise of 3.5 percent from July 2024 for a total term of 19 months.
Negotiations are set to continue on Friday afternoon in Düsseldorf. The peace obligation ended at the end of November. Since then, there have been numerous warning strikes.
Around 68,000 people are employed in the steel and iron industry in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Lower Saxony.
