Zwickau / Jena (dpa) - From today on, companies in the metal and electrical industry in Saxony and Thuringia have to be prepared for warning strikes.

According to IG Metall, the peace obligation ends on Tuesday night.

On Monday, the union had already prepared its members for warning strikes with initial actions and digitally organized a nationwide tariff kick-off.

In Zwickau, for example, projections in front of companies were used to draw attention to demands in the current collective bargaining dispute.

The negotiations so far have not yet led to any result.

Among other things, the union is demanding around 4 percent more money for employees.
