Hanover (dpa) - On the second day of the new round of warning strikes at Tüv companies in several federal states, a little more employees went out of work, according to Verdi.

The union spoke of over 1,500 participants on Tuesday, so on Monday it was a good 1,200.

Again there were failures and restrictions, for example in driving tests or at TÜV stations.

"Those who closed the locations yesterday also did so today," said Verdi.

There was feedback from the workforce that many branches were recently only “able to work to a limited extent”.

The Tüv Nord did not name a new status, but confirmed that they are now striving for a speedy agreement.

In the coming week - probably on May 12th - both sides want to continue their negotiations in the sluggish collective bargaining round.

Verdi is demanding 7 percent more money this year, with at least 300 euros more for the lower wage groups.

The Tüv tariff community has so far offered a plus of 4.5 percent, spread over this and the next year.

The subject of the collective bargaining dispute, which according to the union affects around 6,700 employees, is also proposals for more options between pay and conversion into leisure time.

Normal operation should be back on Wednesday.

Verdi explained: "But we expect something to come now."

The previous offer is not sufficient, the Tüv Nord, however, described it as "good and fair".

The warning strike extended to Lower Saxony, parts of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen, Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Berlin, Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt and Saxony.

The TÜV companies in Hesse and Saarland were also affected.
