Ver.di is calling for a warning strike at AOK Baden-Württemberg: employees are demanding better wages and salaries

According to a report from www.swr.de, the ver.di union has called on around 11,000 AOK Baden-Württemberg employees to go on a warning strike. The strikers are demanding appreciation and compensation for the past few months. The union is demanding a wage increase of 12.5 percent, but at least 575 euros more per month for a collective agreement term of twelve months for AOK employees. The remuneration for trainees is to increase by 250 euros per month.

The warning strike has potential impacts on the market and the financial industry. Since it is one of the largest health insurance companies in Germany, strikes and collective bargaining could have an impact on the contributions and benefits of those insured. In addition, costs could rise, which would impact AOK's finances. This could also have a long-term impact on the health insurance company's competitiveness, as higher costs could lead to higher premiums, which could potentially encourage members to switch to other providers.

Overall, the strike could have a significant impact on both AOK and the insurance market as a whole. It is important to keep an eye on the development of collective bargaining and the impact of the strike on the financial sector and the health insurance market.
