Workers at the property management division of the company Vonovia are prepared to strike before the end of 2016 to protest over wage negotiations and worsening conditions at the real estate group. According to a representative of the union Ver.di, a substantial number of Vonovia property management's employees are ready for industrial action. The management is very negative about any trade union involvement and not willing to negotiate a new collective agreement. A first warn strike was already held.
