Pay Strikes Hit Germany
Workers in Germany’s engineering industries have begun temporary warning strikes, as around 3.7 million employees demand a 5% pay rise over 12 months amid a worsening crisis in the automotive sector. Around 300 workers took part in the first strike at Thyssenkrupp’s Rasselstein plant after the IG Metall union rejected an offer of a one-off payment equivalent to 1% of annual pay in summer 2027, followed by a 1.3% increase from July 2028. The union plans further strikes in the coming days in Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland and Thuringia.
