  "account": "The IG Metall union has escalated its dispute with Germany's metal and electrical industry by requesting approval for all-day warning strikes in individual companies. The union's districts have asked the board to authorize the strikes, with a decision expected on Thursday. IG Metall is demanding 5 percent more pay for its 3.7 million members, as well as job and location security, but employers have offered a one-time payment and 1.3 percent increase. The union previously used 24-hour warning strikes in 2018, which involved around 500,000 members in 250 companies.",
  "summary": "In the collective bargaining dispute in the metal and electrical industries, IG Metall is preparing full-day warning strikes. This rare escalation step is intended to bring momentum to the negotiations - what is needed for this.",
