According to district manager Dominik Kofent, around 300 people took part in the warning strike that the Verdi union had called on Wednesday. Another 40 responded to a strike call by the Education and Science Union. “I didn’t necessarily expect the mobilization to work so well straight away,” says Kofent. This shows that “the pressure in the boiler is high”.

The anger among the colleagues is great: In the first phase of the corona measures you got a lot of applause, but now there is not even an offer from the employer in the collective bargaining. Among other things, Verdi is calling for an increase in incomes of 4.8 percent for the 2.3 million public sector employees.

Six municipal day-care centers were also on strike on Wednesday: Steckendorfer Strasse, Viktoriastrasse, Herbertzstrasse, Hubertusstrasse, Remscheider Strasse and the Wilhelmstrasse day care center with the Hafelsstrasse branch. They stayed closed. “Since many parents followed the recommendation to look after their children elsewhere, between 30 and 80 percent of the children could be cared for in another 16 daycare centers. The usual regular operations could take place in 22 daycare centers. Some emergency groups have been set up, ”informs the city administration.

According to Dominik Konfent, himself a father, there is a lot of understanding among parents for the warning strike. This “hikes” on Thursday towards Mönchengladbach / Viersen. “But that won’t be the last warning strike in Krefeld,” says Kofent. The date will be announced in good time. WD
