Chocolate remains cold: strike in Aachen's confectionery industry threatens
effects of the wage strike on the confectionery industry in Aachen
On Wednesday there is a significant production stop in the confectionery industry in the Aachen region. The Trade Union Food Guest Gaststics (NGG) has proclaimed a warning strike that could have a far-reaching signaling effect in the industry. The affected companies, including the well -known chocolate manufacturer Lindt and the traditional Printenfabrik Lambertz, stand still during this time.
call for demonstration
In addition to the strike actions, which also significantly impair production, a central demonstration in Aachen is organized. This rally will take place on Bendplatz and referred to as the "stinky sweet protest" in the city center. The organizers expect the participation of over 1,000 employees from the entire confectionery industry in North Rhine-Westphalia. Such demonstrations are often an important part of industrial struggles and show the unity of the employees.
claims of the union
The NGG union penetrates a wage increase of 9.9 percent for one year with its warning strike. This requirement is not just a concern of individual employees, but also has the potential to change the entire industry. Such a wage increase could be a fundamental improvement in their economic situation for many employees.
meaning of the strike for the Aachen region
The dispute over wages in the confectionery industry is of far -reaching importance for the Aachen region. Here it becomes clear how workers' protests not only aim at companies themselves, but also cause commitment and solidarity within the community. Such actions can also serve as a model in other sectors and show that employees are willing to stand up for their rights and a fair income. The outcome of this strike could therefore have a lasting impact on both the local economy and the negotiation strategies in the industry.
