“Income rounds are always tough. But this time it was particularly tricky,” commented dbb boss Ulrich Silberbach on the difficult negotiations with the federal and local governments.
But the result is quite impressive. “3,000 euros for inflation compensation and at least 340 euros in table increases for everyone. In view of the financial weakness of many municipalities, this is a real house number. In percentage terms, the table increases alone – depending on the salary groups – are between 8 and 16 percent,” says dbb national chairman Ulrich Silberbach on April 23, 2023 after the conclusion of negotiations in Potsdam.
Of course, the trade unions would have had further ideas, especially when it came to issues such as term and inflation compensation for part-time employees. Silberbach: “But more could not be achieved, especially with the municipalities. Incidentally, this compromise is also inconceivable without the many warning strikes and protest actions of the last few months. The commitment of the colleagues has paid off, noticeable increases in income are achieved – no small thing in these times.” Finally, Silberbach pointed out that the income round for the dbb is only over when the volume of the collective bargaining agreement is transferred to the area of salaries and pensions of the federal government at the same time and in line with the system.
The key points of the agreement:
- A tax- and social security-free inflation compensation allowance of 3,000 euros (gradual payment from June 2023).
- From March 1, 2024, the table fees will increase by 200 euros (basic amount) and then by 5.5 percent (adjustment of the increase amount to 340 euros where this value is not reached).
- Training and internship fees will be increased by 150 euros at the same time.
- Contract period: 24 months.
Background:
A total of more than 2.5 million employees are directly or indirectly affected by the collective agreement for the public sector (TVöD): almost 1.6 million employees of the federal and local governments and other areas for which the TVöD has a direct impact, as well as trainees (6,350 at federal government, 56,300 in the municipalities), interns and students in dual courses of study integrated into training and also almost 190,000 federal civil servants, candidates (16,885 in the federal government) and over 500,000 pension recipients in the federal government, to whom the collective bargaining agreement is to be transferred . The income round also indirectly affects other areas of public service (e.g. Federal Employment Agency, German Pension Insurance).
