Rebellion and discontent swept Germany. More than 400,000 workers continued to strike. The German trade union IG Metall brought industrial workers to the streets. One of the biggest events took place at the Audi factory in Zwarsalem, where 6,500 people gathered. The workers demand a 5% wage increase during the year, as well as guarantees to preserve jobs and production. Employers offer more modest terms: a one-time payment in 2027 and a wage increase of only 1.3% from July 2028. Follow Max I Feedback.
