Munich (dpa / lby) - The employers of the Bavarian metal and electrical industry do not want to increase the tariff wages until next year - after a zero round in the current year.
The association's negotiator, Angelique Renkhoff-Mücke, said after the third round of negotiations on Monday: "In 2021 there will be no scope for distribution."
The Bavarian IG Metall boss Johann Horn was disappointed and said: "The preparations for warning strikes after the end of the peace obligation on March 2nd are underway."
The third round of collective agreements for the 840,000 employees in the industry in Bavaria was ended without any substantial rapprochement and without a new date.
The union is demanding four percent more money for the 840,000 employees in the industry in Bavaria - where things are going badly in a company, in the form of wage compensation with a reduction in working hours.
Employers offer a one-off payment that has not yet been quantified in the first half of 2022 and a wage increase in the second half of 2022. On top of that, they demand that companies in the crisis can automatically deviate from the collective agreement with certain key figures without renegotiating with IG Metall in individual cases to have to.
IG Metall sees this automatism "very, very, very critically," said Horn.

IG Metall is capable of working despite the corona pandemic, he emphasized.
The ball now lies with the employers: "If you want a good degree, you have to move."
Renkhoff-Mücke said the metal employers are always ready to negotiate.
"But I fear that we will not move forward so quickly."
