Union Verdi Urges Hospital Staff in Frankfurt (Oder) to Take Action
Clinic Workers Urged to Launch a Warning Strike - Musician Verdi advocates for a work stoppage.
Hey there! Today's topic is a tussle between the hospital staff of Frankfurt (Oder) and Union Verdi. On the 20th of this month, Verdi has ordained a one-day warning strike among the staff, stretching from the early morning shift right up to the late night one. The striking workers will gather for a public demonstration at the hospital's parking garage early in the day.
Verdi isn't mincing words regarding their demands. They're pressing for a whopping 10% pay raise for the nearly 1,250 non-medical staffers and 160 trainees. In addition, they're asking for an extra 200 euros per month in training remuneration and additional free days off for the employees. Verdi envisions bringing their compensation in line with the collective agreement for Public Service.
The union reports that their talks in the first two rounds of wage negotiations failed to yield an agreement. The ongoing discussions will resume on May 20, 2025. But for now, it's Verdi vs the hospital staff vs the status quo.
