Print.de reports that the German Printing and Media Association (BVDM) and the Verdi trade union agreed on the future of the collective bargaining agreement (MTV). The new collective bargaining agreement runs to the end of 2027. The union had initially demanded that the collective agreement (MTV) for the printing industry, which expired at the end of October 2024, and its annexes be reinstated without reforms, indefinitely and even with additional burdens. The employer representatives rejected this proposal.
In the new agreement, the parties agree to repeal the annexes to the collective bargaining agreement, particularly the machine staffing rules, because modern machines allow for lower staffing levels due to automation. Both sides agree, according to a press release from the BVDM, that this repeal of the staffing rules should not lead to dismissals for operational reasons.
