IG Metall and the employers’ Textil + Mode confederation reached a new collective agreement for 100,000 textile and clothing workers in west Germany, which will be applicable for 25 months. The employees will receive a single ‘corona bonus’ payment of €325 for the year 2021. From February 2022 they will see their salaries increase by 1.3%, with a further 1.4% being added from October 2022. In addition to the pay increases, the collectively agreed part-time work for older workers (Altersteilzeit) will be extended and improved.
