Düsseldorf (dpa) - In the wage conflict in the metal and electrical industry, IG Metall wants to attempt another solution before Easter.
The union's board of directors is calling on those involved in the North Rhine-Westphalia district to continue the negotiations on Monday in Düsseldorf, said the first chairman of the IG Metall union, Jörg Hofmann, on Friday evening after discussions in the collective bargaining commission and with the IG Metall board of directors.
There is no such thing as a degree at any price.
Previously, the sixth round of negotiations in the deadlocked conflict had not led to an agreement.
Employers and IG Metall parted ways early on Friday morning after around twelve hours of negotiations with no result.
The employers said they had offered a one-off payment of 350 euros for 2021.
The union dismissed this as "totally inadequate".
The offer would mean «real wage losses for employees», said the NRW district manager of IG Metall, Knut Giesler.
According to Giesler, there was a further convergence in the areas of job security and future collective agreements.
The President of the Association of the Metal and Electrical Industry in North Rhine-Westphalia, Arndt G. Kirchhoff, said that the employer and the union had "come closer on some points".

Employers called for the coming year to be included in the collective agreement.
"If IG Metall agrees to regulate the year 2022 in the collective bargaining round, we will offer you a figure increase in the table for the coming year," said Kirchhoff.
However, IG Metall has not yet given this promise.
The union demands four percent more wages for the nationwide around 3.8 million employees, of whom around 700,000 work in North Rhine-Westphalia - where things are going badly in a company, also in the form of wage compensation with working hours reduced to four days.
