Will there be a result in the second round of negotiations in Hesse?
In the collective bargaining talks of the public service, a conclusion seems to be possible on Friday.
Wiesbaden - Shortly before the decisive round of negotiations in the collective bargaining conflict in the public service in Hesse, the unions increased the pressure with nationwide protest actions.
In Wiesbaden, the negotiator and deputy Verdi federal chairman Christine Behle defended the demand for five percent more salary, but at least 175 euros for the state employees on Tuesday.
The public service employees had guaranteed basic services and thus the functioning of the state during the corona pandemic, emphasized the trade unionist.
That is why the employees not only deserve respect, they also deserve material recognition and sustainable working conditions.
Around 300 participants walked from the train station to downtown Wiesbaden in a protest march.
On posters, banners and vests, among other things, it said “We are worth it”, “We are systemically important, we are indispensable”.
Confetti was thrown at the union's speech.
Among the demonstrators was the left federal chairwoman Janine Wissler.
The union also called for larger rallies in Kassel, Gießen and Darmstadt on Tuesday.
According to the information, around 2000 people across the country took part in the protests.
Together with other unions, Verdi is calling for the 45,000 state employees to not only receive higher pay, but also an increased annual special payment, the expansion of permanent employment relationships in the university sector and regulations on home office and mobile working.
Interior Minister Peter Beuth (CDU) has not yet submitted an offer from the state.

Negotiations in the clinic wage dispute
The next round of negotiations is planned for October 14th and 15th in Dietzenbach (Offenbach district).
Verdi Regional District Manager Jürgen Bothner has already expressed confidence that a deal can then be reached.
According to the union's ideas, the wage result for state employees should be transferred to the civil servants in Hesse at the same time and with the same content.
In 2004, Hesse was the only federal state to leave the collective bargaining association of the federal states (TdL) and has been negotiating independently since then.
In the meantime, the other federal states have also started the collective bargaining round with the unions.
