In an effort to raise pay for metal and electronics employees by 8% amid high inflation, the country’s main labour union has begun a series of warning strikes that will last until next week.
The warning strikes began early on Saturday morning, where about 1,300 workers in Bavaria participated alone, said Timo Junter, a spokesman for the dominant mineral workers Syndicate in Germany (IG Metal) in Bavaria, according to Bloomberg News Agency on Sunday.
Junter stated over the phone on Sunday that strikes for logistical services are expected to be organised at Robert Bush and the Sinkron Company on Monday, and that more strikes will continue in Bavaria throughout the week.
The union is asking for the biggest pay raise since 2008. The outcome might be indicative of how pay negotiations have progressed more generally in Germany, where inflation unexpectedly picked up in October. The cost of goods rose by 11%. 6% from the previous year..
