Munich (dpa / lby) - With a day of action on Monday, IG Metall ushered in the hot phase of the ongoing collective bargaining dispute nationwide.

In Bavaria, according to the union, several thousand employees from over 200 companies took part in campaigns.

From midnight, when the peace obligation expires, warning strikes should start - among others at the automotive supplier Bosch Rexrodt in Lohr am Main and in Elchingen in Swabia, as well as at Linde Material Handling in Weilbach near Aschaffenburg.

In Munich there was a rally of several hundred cars and cyclists to Theresienwiese on Monday.

In compliance with the Corona requirements, IG Metall main cashier Jürgen Kerner and the works council heads of BMW and MAN should speak to the participants from a stage with an LED screen.

According to IG Metall, there were actions in front of the factory gates in 20 companies in Nuremberg.

A spokesman said about 200 people then took part in a rally on the Nuremberg Kornmarkt.

The fourth round of negotiations between the parties to the collective bargaining agreement ended on Friday without any rapprochement and without a new date.

IG Metall demands four percent more wages for employees - where things are going badly in a company, in the form of wage compensation with a reduction in working hours.

After a zero round this year, employers will only offer unquantified wage increases from 2022 and also demand that companies in crisis can automatically deviate from the collective agreement with certain balance sheet figures without renegotiating with IG Metall.

Around 840,000 people work in the metal and electrical industries in Bavaria.
