Tarifstreit: Privatbanken bieten 4,2 Prozent mehr Gehalt – Verdi fordert mehr
Nach den Warnstreiks bieten die Privatbanken ab Mitte 2027 ein Gehaltsplus von 4,2 Prozent an. Verdi fordert eine größere Erhöhung und Schutz von Arbeitsplätzen beim Einsatz von KI.
In the Tarifstreit, private banks in Germany have proposed a 4.2% increase in wage rates for their employees, which would take effect from mid-2027 over a 36-month period, according to the employer association of private banks (AGV Banken). Thomas A. Lange, the bank employers' negotiating leader, stated that "this is a fair offer" in these challenging times.
The Verdi trade union had raised the pressure through warning strikes prior to the negotiations in Frankfurt, demanding that the employers put forward an initial offer. Jan Duscheck, Verdi's negotiation leader, said that the workers had made it clear they were not prepared to wait any longer. However, the employers had warned the unions against excessive demands, emphasizing that their claims must remain realistic and not lead to overburdening. The proposed tariff package should not be overwhelmed by a multitude of complex issues.
