Strike flood in Lübeck: Employees defend themselves against low wages!
In the current tariff round for the public service, the negotiations failed, which now results in extensive warning strikes. The ver.di trade union called up the employees in Lübeck for a warning strike, the background of which is to be found in the failed collective bargaining process. There was also a strike in Kiel that affected different areas.
like ndr already reported yesterday about 1,500 people in Kiel for their demands, while the police counted around 300 participants. The current warning strikes aim to increase pressure on employers, to improve the negotiating position and no longer accept the refusal of employers. Markus Ameln, trade union secretary, emphasized that this strike was only the beginning and that a possible escalation of the industrial action was imminent.
Details of the warning strikes and collective bargaining
In Lübeck, the following areas will be affected by the warning strikes: waste disposal companies, city cleaning, municipal senior citizens, Stadtwerke Lübeck, Theater Lübeck and Wasserstraßen- and shipping offices. The employees of the districts of Ostholstein, Duchy of Lauenburg and Stormarn, job centers and agencies for work as well as the Sana Kliniken Lübeck and Ameos Eutin are also affected. The warning strike is expected to lead to significant impairments in the regular operating process, with a demo train that is supposed to start in Lübeck at 10 a.m. The collective bargaining for the public service, which are relevant for over 2.5 million employees of clinics, daycare centers, airports and other public institutions, has failed. This was announced by Federal Interior Minister Nancy Faeser after the third round of negotiations in Potsdam, which lasted four days. The unions called for an increase of 8% or at least 350 euros more per month as well as additional free days. The employers, on the other hand, offered a wage increase of 5.5%, a higher 13th monthly content and better layer allowances, which was considered inadequate.like zdf , a arbitration procedure is now being sought. During this procedure, however, warning strikes are not allowed, which means a peace obligation. The arbitration should make a recommendation within a week, and in the meantime a "time-instead of money model" is proposed, in which parts of the annual special payment could be converted into free days. The arbitration commission is headed by Roland Koch (CDU) and Hans-Henning Lühr (SPD).
