Frankfurt am Main – After two rounds of negotiations, the tariff conflict escalates for the textile services. The reason is an offer of the employer of May 28, which the employees of the large laundrys have now rejected in votes in the companies. From Tuesday, IG Metall will increase the pressure and calls on warning strikes nationwide.
With a long term of 28 months, employers offer two late wage increases of 1.5 percent each below the inflation rate. They want to abolish the partial retirement. In contrast, IG Metall demands 6 percent, but at least 180 euros higher fees for one year and an improved partial retirement regulation for the burdened employees.
“No respect for sweaty and exhausting work”
IG Metall negotiator Miriam Bürger said: “The so-called employer offer is disrespectful. It mocks the committed commitment of our colleagues in their sweaty and exhausting work. They deserve appreciation instead of an impoverishment program. the companies forward. “
On Tuesday, the Warnstreik start will make CWS Healthcare employees in Paderborn, Bardusch Textil rental services in Nienburg-Stadthagen and ALSCO workwear in Merseburg. Alsco will follow the workwear in Cologne and CWS Healthcare/Workwear in Brehna on Wednesday.
Textile service providers, for example, clean work clothes or hotel, restaurant and hospital washing. 23,000 employees work nationwide in the industry. The next collective bargaining will take place on June 16 in Dietzenbach (Hessen).
