Sindicatul IG Metall cere creșterea salariilor cu 5% în Germania

IG Metall is preparing a 5% wage increase request for workers in the metal, electrical, and automotive industries, along with job protection measures. The union warns of potential warning strikes in November if no agreement is reached. Regional branches across several German states have unified on this demand, which includes support for lower-income employees. The union emphasizes the need for a vision that avoids job cuts and factory closures. National negotiations are set to begin in October, covering approximately 3.7 million workers in the sector, which includes automotive manufacturers and suppliers.
