Collective bargaining: What are you arguing about?

IG Metall is running away with the demand for a temporary 28-hour week: For most metals it is out of the question – and politics is planning it anyway.

Collective bargaining: What are you arguing about?

IG Metall is at high risk. After a failed collective bargaining, she wants to carry out this Wochedeutschlandweit 24-hour warning strike. The Streikwellewird is a litmus test for you. How many members Stehentatsächlich behind provocative IG-metall demand to be able to reduce Befristetauf a 28-hour week and get EinenLohnausgleich for it?

Eskönnten be far less than hoped. IG Metall itself reckons that not even half of oretically eligible employees could take advantage of BefristeteArbeitszeitreduzierung in end. The least Vonihnen would benefit from wage compensation of up to 200 euros, because it should only apply to lower income groups. In addition, only employed children under age of 14 and dependent relatives are to receive denfinanziellen compensation – even if Sienachweislich take over main part of care and care. However, this is likely to be fewest of workers, because in derMetall and electrical sector, men work predominantly.

Those who work part-time now do not benefit

Außerdemwürden all metals that are working part-time today are not able to benefit from new right to temporary part-time with a remuneration subsidy. Such regulations always apply from a key date, but not retroactively. So why should someone who works Heuteschon part-time make a claim that would not benefit Eram end?

Bilingual workers just want to see a ordentlichenLohnzuwachs. After all, German economy is booming – under law of electrical and metal industry. The employers bietenaber exactly that. Their last offer had a size of 6, 8Prozent, but for a period of 27 months. The IG Metall wanted six percent for twelve months.

VieleArbeitnehmer are quite satisfied with ir 35 hour week burn not even reduce. Imopssible: Diebefristete Part-time will exist in coming years anyway. The CDU, CSU and SPD have already Sondierungengeeinigt on this. In future, employees in companies with more than 45Beschäftigten should be allowed to reduce ir working time for at least one year and a maximum of five years.

KeineFrage: The issue of working time back into collective bargaining is correct: especially young people famous work-life balance is important, which also shows general response to demand of IG Metall. And that is precisely why it is now important to be in negotiations with Arbeitgebernkompromissbereit. The employers are tame because of sheer need for sufficient staff. A compromise could soaussehen: The IG Metall is given a part-time quota: 20 percent derArbeitnehmer may take a limited period of time – this is equivalent to proportion of those who, according to union's calculations, would einenAnspruch anyway. And employers get a aufgestockteÜberstundenquote. They already exist in collective agreement: between 15bis 18 percent of workers in metal and Elektrobetriebendürfen work more than 35 hours per week. This percentage could be increased once again.

Self-subsidy for lower wage groups, which Arbeitgeberso fear, could be financed against: one could be etwaszurückhaltender in DenLohnzuwächsen and one-time payments in highest wage groups. That would be fair even from point of view of Gewerkschaftnur.

IG Metall has been playing high with IhrerIdee from 28-hour week. Now it is important to convert m into a realistic solution that also reflects wishes of absorb.
