The dispute over the move from Berlin to Munich has escalated at German private broadcaster Sat. 1: The employees of Pro Sieben Sat. 1 responded to the call for a strike by the DJV and Verdi unions and stopped work at 12 noon on Tuesday. The strike is to last until midnight on Wednesday.
With their strike, the employees want to increase the pressure on the Group's management in the dispute over the redundancy plan. The dispute is about the conditions of Sat. 1's move from Berlin to Munich and a possible social plan. According to the German industry service Horizont, the works council of Pro Sieben Sat.1 has so far rejected this.
According to the union, the staff's central demand is the conclusion of a social collective agreement, in which the financial conditions are regulated both for departing employees who cannot move to Munich and for those who are offered a new job. In addition, more jobs are to be retained in Berlin. This is to be ensured by a multi-year employment guarantee.
According to Sat. 1, broadcasting operations are not at risk overall despite the strike. The broadcaster only reported that there could be bottlenecks in the presented programs "Sat. 1 Magazin" and "Sat. 1 Frühstücksfernsehen".
