Tariffs - Trade unions call another warning strike
Before the next round of wage negotiations with the federal states, the trade unions are once again calling for warning strikes in Saxony-Anhalt. Verdi is calling on all state employees to strike. Specifically, there will be strikes at Martin Luther University Halle, Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg, universities and foundations in the state, the State Administration Office, the Saxony-Anhalt State Road Construction Authority and various authorities, companies and offices of the state administration. The Education and Science Union has also called for the university strike in Halle.
"The world around us is changing rapidly, and the work that state employees are doing is more demanding than ever," explained Simona König, Verdi district manager for Saxony-Anhalt South. "It is therefore only fair that their pay keeps pace with that of the federal and local governments." In the upcoming round of negotiations from 7 to 9 December, an offer is expected from the collective bargaining community of the federal states "that is an expression of appreciation for the people who give their best every day".
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.
