German metalworkers' union launches warning strikes
The first workers have walked off the job in what Germany's main metalworkers' union, IG Metall, says will be a wave of warning strikes meant to back up its demand for an eight percent wage increase. This comes after the union rejected the employers' offer of a 2.9 percent pay rise. The first work stoppage came at the Audi car plant in the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, where 4,000 workers walked off the job shortly after midnight local time. IG Metall, which represents more than 3.5 million workers, has pledged to organise warning strikes across the country in the coming week.
