Ig metall threatens to strike again
“It’s okay if wages are currently rising more sharply here than in all other eu countries,” said schauble in an interview with the news magazine “focus”.
Germany has done its homework and can afford higher wage agreements better than other countries. “We have many years of reforms behind us,” said schauble. “But we must be careful not to overdo it. We must preserve the right to vote.”
The employers’ association gesamtmetall criticized schauble. “The collective bargaining parties don’t need any lectures from politicians, no matter which side they come from,” an association spokesman told the daily newspaper “die welt” (monday edition). “The sensitive process of negotiating wages by the bargaining parties can only be damaged and disrupted by interference from pigeons.”
