Labor Strikes for Better Conditions in Germany

Workers from multiple sectors in Germany are currently engaged in strikes to demand better wages and working conditions. Employees of cash and valuables transport companies are leading a nationwide strike, advocating for higher salaries, increased vacation time, and enhanced overtime pay.

Their union, Verdi, emphasizes the need for fair compensation, despite employers claiming that current wages exceed the minimum wage. Meanwhile, Lufthansa's subsidiaries face similar unrest as workers demand significant pay raises and inflation adjustments, amidst plans for potential closures due to financial challenges.

In Schleswig-Holstein, private bus company employees are also preparing for strikes after a proposed wage agreement fell through. These labor actions reflect a growing discontent among workers seeking to secure their rights and improve their livelihoods in various industries across Germany.
