A few hours to the official start of the negotiations in the textile and clothing industry in western Germany, on October 17 at 2 pm, the IG-Metall metalworkers' union repeated its claims for the sector's 120,000 employees - a 5 percent wage increase over 12 months and an agreement on demography. Calling for moderation, employers asked that the union doesn't underestimate the impact the euro crisis has on the sector. The current collective agreement will expire on October 31, along with the social truce. (Ref. 120611)
