Mass suicide: strikes in eastern Germany

Article Abstract:

IG Metall has called for strike votes in Eastern Germany's engineering and steel sectors in response to abrogations of agreements to boost wages by more than 20%. The union feels that its .75 million East German members will reject the employers' claim that wage increases in a recession are unsupportable.
