The actions are to be continued in the coming days in order to achieve a result as possible before Pentecost (May 15-16.). “If that is not enough, we will call for days strike”, said the head of IG Metall Mitte district, Jörg Köhlinger.

The day strikes are a new means of industrial action, the IG Metall in itself past year has been rewritten in the statute.

IG Metall leader Jörg Hofmann called at a rally at the Ford Saarlouis -Werken in front of about 3,000 people, the tariff offer employers “lean cuisine” for employees. Profits and dividends are obviously important.

There is also a one-off payment of 0.3 per cent over twelve months. So they went only slightly beyond their first offer. “Not enough is enough and is no longer, if you re-packaged it,” said Southwest Regional manager Roman Zitzelsberger.

Total Metal-President Rainer Dulger had however stressed that the offer was submitted, “to finally on the structures of a possible solution to talk “. A longer term of the collective agreement procures the company planning security

Südwestmetall boss Stefan Wolf criticized the actions. “The country is sinking in strikes,” he said while addressing the work stoppages in the public sector. The shame Germany in the international perception.
