Request trainees: 7% more money and 170 euros for an independent life!

The trainees from Daimler Truck and Mercedes-Benz have set a strong sign with a powerful action. In front of your training centers, you have expressed your support for IG Metall's demands on a large banner, which demands an increase of 7% and an additional 170 euros per training year for trainees and dual students. In view of the current economic situation, the concern of young people is more than understandable.

"The prices for food and fuel are particularly noticeable for trainees, even if the inflation rate is slowly falling. Therefore, we urgently need an increase in the training allowance," emphasized Nikola Kandić, the chairman of the youth and trainee representation (JAV) at Mercedes-Benz Rastatt. These measures should enable the trainees to plan their finances better and to live more independently from their parents, which, according to Kandić, is essential in the present time.

The reality of the trainees

Mariebelle Sewonou, deputy JAV chairman at Daimler Truck in Gaggenau, adds that many young people have the desire to live independently and no longer have to live in the "Hotel Mama". In view of the rising rental prices, this becomes a real challenge. "170 euros are necessary and fair," she emphasizes and emphasizes the urgency of the demands.

The demonstration was loud and well attended. In the case of sandwiches and drinks, the trainees came together to exchange ideas and clarify open questions about the tariff round. In an atmosphere of the positive exchange, it became clear that the trainees are ready to go into the negotiations. "We are hot for the collective bargaining round - 7% and 170 euros were needed," was the clear message of the assembly.

In this tense economic situation, in which young people are often faced with financial obstacles, this initiative could make a significant contribution to improving the living conditions of the trainees. The support from IG Metall and the determination of the trainees are crucial to succeed in the collective bargaining. The upcoming tariff round promises to be exciting, and the voices of the young generation are perceived more.
