The initial week of wage negotiations in the metal and electronics industry ended without progress in various regions. In Berlin Brandenburg, employers presented no offer, leading IG Metall to criticize their approach.

The union, representing 100,000 workers in the region, demands a seven percent wage increase and a €170 raise for apprentices. Employers argue these demands are unrealistic and could jeopardize jobs and the future of the sector.

Talks will resume on October 18. Similar deadlocks occurred in Bayern, Baden-Württemberg, and Sachsen, with no movement in Niedersachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, and Nordrhein-Westfalen. The peace obligation ends on October 28, after which warning strikes may occur.
