The warning strikes at breweries in Saxony continue. At the beginning of the week, the Food, Beverages and Catering Union (NGG) called on Radeberger employees to strike. The strike was to begin on Sunday evening and last until Tuesday evening.
About this:
The background to this is the current wage dispute in the brewing industry in Saxony-Thuringia. The union is demanding a 7 percent wage increase and 100 euros more for trainees. According to the NGG, there is still a wage gap between East and West in the industry. There is talk of employees in Saxony receiving more than 8,000 euros less per year than their colleagues in the West. The employers have not yet presented an offer, it was said.
Recently, employees at other breweries in Saxony also went on strike. The next negotiations are reportedly planned for August 14. A fourth wave of strikes before this date cannot be ruled out, warned the NGG.
