“Warning strikes” are expected to begin on Saturday in the broad sector, which employs roughly 3. 8 million people.
The latest to declare the weekend strikes were the employees in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which is both Germany’s most populous region and its industrial hub.
A new wage deal was being discussed by the administration and the unions, but no agreement was reached before the required negotiating period ended.
In the basic sector, which encompasses roughly 26 thousand enterprises in the automotive, electrical, and industrial sectors, IG Mittal wanted an eight percent wage hike for workers.
The employers responded by providing an incentive worth 3000 euros ($2980), good for the following 30 months.
The award may “assist,” but due to the high cost of food and energy, according to Knut Gizler, the president of IG Metal for the state of North Rhine in Westphalia.
He went on to say that the workers required a “quick and fixed” raise in order to stay up with inflation.
According to data released by the Federal Statistics office “Desties,” the annual pace for the high costs of consumer goods grew once more in October to 10.4%.
In spite of the “extremely difficult phase” that the industry is going through, the sector offered a “decent offer,” according to Stephen Wolf, the director of the employees of the employers of Gesammetall, who spoke to the “Sudosh Zeitong” daily.
On November 10, the two sides are supposed to pick up their negotiations again.
