Widespread warning strikes have erupted in Berlin and Brandenburg within the metal and electrical sectors, led by the IG Metall union. The strikes, which began in Potsdam and Brandenburg an der Havel, follow the termination of a peace obligation, signaling heightened tensions in wage negotiations.
IG Metall demands a 7% wage increase to bolster the purchasing power of 3.9 million workers, while employers have countered with a 3.6% offer over 27 months, citing weak production and order shortages. Union leaders criticize the employer's proposal, emphasizing the need for better compensation.
The ongoing negotiations are set to continue, with a pivotal third round scheduled for November 5, as the stakes rise for both workers and employers.
