Warning strikes in the public service: The strikes are slowly starting in these federal states

Lower Saxony / Bremen:

Here too, the warning strikes should start slowly.

Which locations and which areas are exactly affected initially remained open.

"Restrictions must be expected," said a union spokesman.

Rhineland-Palatinate / Saarland:

Here, too, Verdi prepared people for strikes - when and where exactly it came has not yet been revealed.

There should be no actions here on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Verdi wants to inform about everything else on Tuesday.

Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia:

No warning strikes are planned here on Tuesday.

Berlin / Brandenburg:

There should not be any warning strikes on Tuesday either.

The employees in the Berlin Senate and the districts are otherwise paid according to the collective agreement for state employees (TVL), which is currently not being negotiated.

In Brandenburg the TVöD affects the municipalities.

As soon as a decision has been made on warning strikes in Berlin and Brandenburg, the public will be informed, according to a spokesman.

Warning strikes in Germany: backgrounds and possible scenarios

Background:

The unions are demanding

.

The employees are to be guaranteed at least 150 euros more per month.

They demand a term of twelve months, the municipal employers want a longer term.

The federal government and municipalities had not submitted an offer at the second round of negotiations at the weekend in Potsdam.

Verdi and the official association dbb, which is negotiating with Verdi, were outraged.

The government and municipalities negotiate directly for 2.3 million collective bargaining employees.

According to the unions, the result should be transferred to the more than 200,000 civil servants.

Scenarios:

The third round of negotiations is scheduled for October 22nd and 23rd, and it will probably take a day or two longer.

Either both sides then agree on a conclusion, or an arbitration is initiated.

It is less likely that the negotiations will be declared a failure and that the unions will call regular strikes.
