Munich (dpa / lby) - IG Metall expanded its warning strikes in Bavaria on Friday, targeting automotive suppliers in particular.
Thousands of employees in 51 companies were called upon to participate, according to union information, including at ZF, Grammer, Bosch Rexroth, Magna, Brose, Webasto and ElringKlinger, but also at Siemens and BSH Hausgeräte.
Regional focuses were the Upper Palatinate and Lower Franconia.
The bargaining parties in the Free State have not yet agreed on a new negotiation date.
After the fourth round of negotiations without a rapprochement, they decided to take a “pause for thought” at the end of February.
IG Metall demands four percent more wages for employees nationwide - if things are going badly in a company, in the form of wage compensation and a reduction in working hours.
In addition, in the event of downsizing and plant closings, employers will from now on always have to conclude a company collective agreement with guarantees for future production.

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 in individual cases without renegotiating with IG Metall and without long renegotiations.
Around 840,000 people work in the metal and electrical industries in Bavaria.
The last pilot degree in Bavaria for the metal and electrical industry in Germany was in 2013.
