Munich (dpa / lby) - The 17,000 bus drivers and employees in the private bus industry in Bavaria are not getting a new collective agreement for the time being.
The Verdi union had subsequently rejected the result of the negotiations a week ago, the regional association of Bavarian bus companies (LBO) announced on Tuesday.
That is a novelty and "incomprehensible".
According to the LBO, the result of the negotiations provided for a three-stage wage increase from March 2021 with a term until the end of 2023.
"For most of the employees, the result would have meant a wage increase of over 10 percent plus a corona bonus of 300 euros."
According to Verdi, the result of the negotiations would have meant a wage increase of around one euro per hour - stretched over three years.
A majority in the Verdi tariff commission rejected this.
Verdi is demanding 3.50 euros more hourly wages - for hourly wages of 13 to 14 euros this corresponds to a wage increase of 30 percent.

The LBO announced that the old collective agreement will continue to apply until further notice.
The 1130 LBO member companies operate around 14,000 buses in local transport, coach tourism and long-distance services in Bavaria.
In September, Verdi called bus drivers to go on warning strikes.
