Pay, holidays and jobs for trainees

Germany

After consulting with members, ver.di has drawn up the key elements of its demands in preparation for negotiations covering 2.1 million workers in federal and local government. The union wants €100 a month extra for all workers, including trainees, plus 3.5%, amounting to an increase of 6.7%. The union says this will go some way to rewarding the productivity of a broad range of public sector workers and to closing the gap with pay in other sectors. The claim will also include a demand for 30 day's paid holiday for all workers and for trainees to be taken on at the end of their training period.
