The Strike threat is gone, in the night of Sunday, a result was achieved. And what does that mean for Berlin? Here’s a first view on Sunday morning.
For Berlin, the goods will be the current negotiations, namely, of particular importance, because it is next to Bremen and Thuringia is the only state in the educational and social professions according to the – mostly much less favourable salary table of the collective community of the Länder (TdL). This had led to the Berlin workers, depending on the experience of hundreds of euros less deserved than in Federal States such as Brandenburg.
With the now to roll the approximation of the salaries to the collective agreement of the public service (TVöD) is thus achieved also for Berlin the main target. The Berlin members of the GEW and Verdi had been on strike for several days – three times more than 10,000 Workers were on the road: up to 600 schools, over 100 day-care centres in Berlin were completely closed, youth services worked only to a limited extent.

Long cross drawn beginner, and representatives of other professions. Also the youth welfare offices suffer from the fact that Vacancies cannot be filled: according to The district a quarter or even more positions are sometimes vacant.
75 Euro more for employees teacher
In terms of the teachers said, however, WT-tariff expert, Udo Mertens, Finance Senator Matthias Kollatz (SPD) as TdL-negotiators missed it, the fully-trained teachers in Berlin significant improvements in other Places. “This would have been able to succeed with a Transfer the alignment allowance to other groups or increase of degree 6,“ explained Mertens. In view of the serious teachers shortage in the country and fermenting the establishment of discussion, “this would have been an important Signal“, complained Mertens. The disadvantage compared to the civil servant teachers, nothing changes in the core.
The Federal Chairman of the WT, Marlies Tepe, stressed, however, that the allowance of the staff of teachers increased by 75 to 105 Euro. “This is an important step in the direction is done in parallel with table – even if the WT would have been even more desired,” said Tepe. There is now at least “a binding agreement on the way, such as the parallel table will finally be achieved“.
The establishment of an official debate continues
