FRANKFURT (Thomson Financial) - The construction industry trade union IG Bau said it will call for a strike vote next week after employer representatives rejected a pay rise deal struck with the help of an arbitrator.
The employer groups in the regions of Lower Saxony and Schleswig-Holstein rejected the deal, which requires agreement from all regions to be effective.
Last month, IG Bau and employer representatives -- through the help of a labour arbitrator -- reached an agreement to increase wages in three stages over a 24-month period from June 1, with a 3.5 pct increase in the first stage.
