In the collective bargaining dispute in the public service, the negotiator of the federal states, Lower Saxony's finance minister Reinhold Hilbers (CDU), rejected the demands of the unions as excessive.
Personnel costs make up 50 percent of state budgets, and the leeway is only very small after Corona, he told the "Hannoversche Allgemeine Zeitung".
Hanover - The Verdi union and the dbb civil servants' association are demanding five percent more wages for employees, but at least 150 euros a month, and in the health sector even 300 euros more.
“That would mean that a nurse would get 12.8 percent more per month.
That is far above what inflation depicts, ”said Hilbers, who speaks for the collective bargaining association of German states (TdL).
