Leipzig (dpa / sn) - In Leipzig, a warning strike of 4200 employees at the Porsche plant began on Thursday morning.
As the first authorized representative of IG Metall, Bernd Kruppa, said, the campaign started at 6 a.m. with the start of the morning shift.
The belts should therefore stand still for three shifts and 24 hours.
Because of the pandemic, employees are said to be spending the warning strike at home.
The warning strike is part of the actions that have been going on since the beginning of March.
With this, the union wants to emphasize its demands in the collective bargaining dispute.
Specifically, IG Metall is calling for a four percent wage increase.
In addition to future collective bargaining agreements and the improvement of takeover regulations for trainees, employees are demanding a collective adjustment allowance in order to equalize the difference in wages and working hours between East and West.
According to the union, around 290,000 employees in the Berlin-Brandenburg-Saxony district are affected.
«The employers are obliged to come up with solutions now.
Otherwise, they, but especially the corporate headquarters in the west, bear sole responsibility for a further escalation of the collective bargaining conflict, ”said Kruppa.
