Disruptive Strikes Planned by Union Verdi at Insurance Firms in the Northwest
Insurance sector targets hit in northwestern region's calculated attack - Insurance companies targeted in bombing raid in North West region
Get ready for potential chaos on Thursday in various federal states, including Lower Saxony and Bremen. The union Verdi is all set to launch a series of threatening strikes in these regions, and the epicenter of action will be Hannover, where a monumental morning rally is being planned.
Joining the fray in the northwest are cities like Bremen, Brunswick, Oldenburg, Göttingen, Hildesheim, and Hameln. It's rumored that insurance bigwigs like Allianz, HDI, VGH, R+V, Debeka, and VHV will feel the heat of these work stoppages, with other federal states such as Hamburg getting in on the action too.
Behind this brewing storm is the long-drawn-out nationwide wage negotiations. Verdi aims to crank up the heat on employers before the third round of discussions set for May 23 in Düsseldorf. This is the first round of warning strikes in Lower Saxony and Bremen since the current wage round commenced.
Verdi is pushing for a whopping 12 percent pay raise for roughly 160,000 employees in the private insurance industry's internal services, along with increased allowances and travel subsidies. The employers' association AGV has reportedly countered with a proposed 8.63 percent increase over a term of 35 months.
