Warning strikes at VW in Osnabrück: 650 employees demand more wages!

The strike roared on Tuesday night! The IG Metall has initiated warning strikes all over Germany, and that in the particularly endangered VW plant in Osnabrück! After the end of the peace obligation, these are the first actions that cause a stir in the metal and electrical industry.

The numbers are alarming: 250 brave employees in Osnabrück have parked their machines! The engine of production also cold in Hildesheim - around 400 employees protested in several companies at night. The IG Metall makes it clear: "The standards in the production lines and the empty office space are the responsibility of employers!" So Thorsten Gröger, the negotiator of IG Metall, commented in front of angry workers at the battery manufacturer Clarios in Hanover.

demands and resistance!

The strike already has an effect! Other warning strikes are planned in various tariff areas on Tuesday, because the union loudly demands seven percent more wages for workers, but employers are only ready to offer a tariff increase by 3.6 percent over 27 months in two stages. The struggle for better conditions goes into the next round because the collective bargaining will continue on the same day - this third round of negotiation runs until November 5 and the area of tension could continue to heat up.

However, employers sharply return the strikes, they call the actions "not helpful" and look at the associated additional costs with concern. The industrial action is sparked and it will be shown which side keeps the upper hand!
