Germany - Day of action over pay and rights in church organisations - June 21, 2010

The ver.di services union organised several demonstrations around the country on 9 June in its continuing campaign to secure better pay and conditions for employees of church-run health and social services. The church organisations have challenged the right to strike in the sector and have refused to negotiate proper collective agreements (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 3 February and April 2010).
