Germany - Health workers get pay rise and job guarantees - June 22, 2011

On 8 June, the ver.di services union negotiators secured a €30 per month increase (average 1.1%) for workers at the KfH-GML health company. This was after challenging negotiations with the KfH management pushing for a pay freeze, lay-offs and restructuring. The deal includes special arrangements to support those who are asked to change jobs as part of the restructuring process. The company employs over 7,000 workers across Germany. The agreement, lasting till 1 March 2012, is still subject to membership ballot.
