Some German public employees will start warning strikes on Tuesday after talks with the government on a pay increase for approximately 2.3 million workers stalled.
Ver.di union is demanding a salary increase of 4.8%, but no less than 150 euros ($178) per month, according to an emailed statement. It didn’t specify how many people will take part in the strikes.
The walkout would come at a moment when the German economy is trying to weather the impact of a deep recession caused by the coronavirus pandemic with 96 billion euros of new borrowing planned for next year to cover a swelling budget gap.
The next round of talks between the union and the government is planned for the end of October in Potsdam, Ver.di said.
