torch and demands: IG Metall Koblenz shakes at the gates of the Rhein-Lahn district! With an urgent sign, the union members, including the committed employees of Eaton in Holzhausen, focus on a torch campaign to express their protest loudly. On Friday morning from 4 a.m., the IG Metallers gathered at numerous circular reversals and public places to show their determination. "Evaluation or industrial action"- that is the clear motto that is unequivocally directed to the employers in the metal and electrical industry.

warning strikes are before

The next round of negotiations on October 31st, but the first warning strikes start on October 29th! IG Metall requires a juicy salary increase of 7 percent and additional measures to improve working conditions. After two failed rounds of negotiations, the nerves are excited to tear. What happens if there is no agreement this time? Is the decision for the region in favor of an industrial action?

The signs are on storm, and the torches are not just for the pictures - they stand for the fire in the hearts of the workers! With a firm belief in their demands, the unionists are fighting for a fair remuneration and better living conditions. The pressure on employers is growing and the coming days could be crucial. The region looks tense at the developments, because responsibility for the negotiations is in the hands of the employers.
