Brewery Workers in East Thuringia Go on Strike

Workers at the Köstritzer Black Beer Brewery in Bad Köstritz, East Thuringia, have launched a strike, as reported by the union Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG). The strike, which began with around 30 early shift workers, is expected to involve late shift workers as well.

The dispute stems from a perceived disadvantage for employees at the brewery, as employers presented different offers last week, according to Löbel. The union is demanding a seven percent increase in wages for the Saxon and Thuringian wage region.

The Köstritzer Black Beer Brewery employs 110 people and is part of the Bitburger Brewery Group. The strike also affects other breweries belonging to the Radeberger Brewery Group, such as Radeberg, Krostitz, Sternburg Leipzig, and Freiberg. The Radeberger Brewery Group is the largest German brewery group.

Despite extensive online searches, no verified updates or details on the progress of wage disputes or strike negotiations at Köstritzer Brewery or other breweries in East Thuringia are currently accessible. If you require the most up-to-date information, local news sources or official statements from unions and the breweries would be the most direct sources to consult.

As the strike continues, it remains to be seen how both parties will resolve the issue and when the breweries will return to normal operations. Stay tuned for further updates.

  1. The ongoing strike at Köstritzer Black Beer Brewery, a part of the Radeberger Brewery Group, could potentially impact industry-wide employment policies, as the dispute over wage increases has spread to other breweries under the group, such as Radeberg, Krostitz, Sternburg Leipzig, and Freiberg.
  2. In the midst of the brewery strike, the community and finance sectors may need to closely monitor the employment policies of the major German brewery groups, like the Radeberger Brewery Group, due to the likelihood of changes in wage structures, employment conditions, and industry-wide implications for the finance sector, particularly in Saxony and Thuringia.
