Warning strike wave rolls through the Rhein-Lahn district: Employees are demanding more!

The wave of warning strikes has recorded the Rhein-Lahn circle! On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, Eaton's employees in Holzhausen set up work for two hours at 9 a.m. Around 200 workers gathered before the company and set a powerful sign for the revenue demands of their union. From 11 a.m., the colleagues from Ecobat Resources in Braubach and the employees of Eaton in Dausenau followed, followed by the employees of the Elisenhütte metal plant in Nassau. The strikers moved to Nassau with an impressive car collar and buses to present their demands loudly on the marketplace.

demands and displeasure of the employees

The requirement is clear: 7 percent more wages and 170 euros more for trainees! Ali Yener, first authorized representative of IG Metall Koblenz, criticized the previous offer of employers as inadequate. "The offer of 1.7% from July 2025 is not even an answer to inflation! The employees need more money in their pockets!" Said Yener. Oliver Fuchs, member of the works council at Eaton, emphasized the closed support of the colleagues: "We are determined to enforce our well -deserved share!" The trainees also loudly demanded better remuneration, since many of them have to finance themselves.

The demonstration continued with a autocorso through the city center of Nassau, where the employees were unmistakable for their demands. Matthias Aulmann, Chairman of the Works Council at Men, made it clear: "With the previous offer of employers, we cannot manage the high living costs!" The displeasure of the inadequate offers is large and IG Metall is ready to increase the pressure. "We are preparing for the next escalation level," announced Yener. The warning strikes continue on November 6, 2024 at ZF, Kalzip, Thales and Deloro in the Koblenz industrial area, with a start at 11:00 a.m.
