Up to 5. March can still happen. For the day of the next tariff are recognized in the negotiations with the BVG. This will be the third round, and the fourth is already scheduled: On 28. March, Verdi and the employers should be able to find a solution for the more than 12,000 employees in the case of the LPP and a further 2000 in the case of the Berlin Transport (BT), their drivers around a third of traffic, with buses and subways in the city to handle.
Unusually, the wide token strike on the morning of the 15th. In February, the rush is hard to hit. The collective strategists, Verdi decided to take on the full morning shift to the warning strike. Two or three hours would have hurt, but Verdi does the same to the big club.
Surprisingly, the date is also: a few days before the second round of talks on 11. February, the trade Union day of action on 15. decided – so regardless of the state of the Negotiations. This belongs to the trade Union strategy has changed in the last few years: Extensive Strikes are pulled through, in order to mobilise the members and the ideal way to attract new members in the course of the labor dispute.
30,000 new Union members
The collective leadership in this country has the IG Metall, with its 2.3 million members, representing self-confident and ready to fight the greatest power of Enforcement. The IG Metall is calling for years in their collective movements of hundreds of thousands to Strikes. Most recently, a year ago, when it came to money and time. At the end of not only a new Tariff, but the IG Metall stand, then, had won in connection with the analysis of 30,000 new members. This calculus also moved the Verdi-strategists, in the case of the BVG as well as in the public service as a whole.
that is Why the Strikes from Wednesday, in Berlin, to be complemented in the next few weeks and even be reinforced by many similar actions throughout the Federal territory before it on may 28. February goes into the decisive round of Negotiations for a total of approximately three million employees, civil servants and beneficiaries of the länder. The conference hotel am Templiner see in Potsdam, you have posted the same for a couple of days. Presumably, the negotiation leader Frank Bsirske (Verdi), and the Berlin Finance Senator Matthias Kollatz (SPD) will agree for the collective community of the country until Saturday – then you can relax all on Sunday from the days of collective bargaining poker.
Kollatz saves money by strike
“I want a solution at the negotiating table,” said Kollatz in these days of demure, the Strikes in Berlin, which he “holds in the current negotiation process to be justified”. He needs to say so. He benefited, however, from the Strikes, because he who does not work gets no money, and the public service, Mr. so it saves a few euros. For Verdi strike pays money to the Union members. Depending on the amount of the Union contribution, which represents a percentage of the gross wage, to get the strikers a wage rate, which accounts for, on average, about three-quarters of the Nettos.
In the case of long collective bargaining process, the tax for Verdi. Each strike must be sought early and from the Federal Board approved. According to the two-digit million amounts claimed strikes in the centres and in the Post-2015, the service trade Union is acting more cautious. 2015 and 2016 have been fights by the Board of Directors, respectively, 160, 2017 159 and in the past year, 129 have been approved. Sometimes the threat is enough already: According to the Union, it came in about a third of the approved cases to the workers ‘ struggle, because there was previously an agreement with the employers.
In the case of the BVG, it’s not even about money
The is operated by the Berlin public transport in sight. Because in the current dispute, it’s not even primarily about money, which is regulated in the collective Pay, but the time and the collective bargaining agreement. The coat has been terminated to the end of 2018, because Verdi wants to have reduced the working hours in the case of the BVG, from 39 to 36.5 hours a week. In addition, the Union wants to change the fee regulations, with the aim of “an appreciation of all professional groups”. In addition, “we expect a one-time payment in the amount of 500 Euro for our members”.
A bit so it’s not about the money, if only for the thickening members, to a certain extent for their strike preparedness rewarded. And if the fare better than Non-members, increases the in turn, the attractiveness of a Verdi membership. But all in all, it is not a claim for payment for the 14,000 of the BVG and BT employees still on the table, and is announced for the beginning of March.

together with the working hours requirement in a pot and then for all the topics in a friendly menu to inflict try with more money and a little less time. A difficult endeavor that remains from all that the BVG has a hard time to find people, and a reduction in working time, such as Verdi demanded would increase with a personnel gap to 500 Points. By 2021, so the current offer of the LPP, could you reduce in stages the working hours.
take the bus for 2500 Euro gross
not to pour more Oil into the fire of the collective dispute that has prompted the Executive Board of the BVG, the executives to look at this Friday “with a sense of proportion” to the actual or perceived strike the participation of their own people. You mean: Who comes too late, because the Bus or train, that’s still content.
This is the LOB for a 30-year-old driver, married and four years with the company, currently, nearly 2500 euros gross. A rider, 55 years old, married 17 years, according to information from Verdi to 2600 Euro. And a vehicle craftsman, 40 years old, for the past ten years in the case of the BVG and in the exchange layer, currently earns 2900 euros gross. To be according to the will of the warning strike and the working hours less. After the strike on 15. February it is likely, therefore, at least one further action up to the negotiations on 5. March. Unless the LPP signals in the meantime.
