The collective bargaining conflict for the 890,000 workers in the construction industry continues.
The arbitration process was postponed to Wednesday after more than 27 hours of negotiations, both sides announced on Friday night.
Berlin - “We conducted intensive negotiations in which all points were examined constructively.
We should take up this good thread of conversation on October 13th, ”said the negotiator for employers and vice-president of the Central Association of the German Construction Industry, Uwe Nostitz.
"We hope that employers will take the path of common sense and that we will succeed in clearing the stones out of the way in the coming week," said the federal chairman of the industrial union for construction, agriculture and the environment (IG BAU), Robert Feiger .
"But everything is still open: The sword of Damocles from a nationwide construction strike is still hanging over the negotiation."

The arbitrator is the President of the Federal Social Court, Rainer Schlegel.
The crux of the negotiations is, above all, the union's demand for so-called travel time compensation for employees.
IG BAU wants at least half a standard hourly wage to be paid as compensation, depending on the individual journey.
For distances of more than 100 kilometers, it should be up to two hourly wages.
In addition, the union is calling for 5.3 percent more wages and salaries as well as an east-west alignment of tariffs.
The employers' side had submitted a tariff offer with a volume of three percent.
