Collective agreement local transport: Higher wages for Hildesheim bus drivers!
From now on, the employees of Delbus GmbH and city traffic Hildesheim can look forward to new, improved working conditions and higher wages. The collective agreement of local transport (TV-N) comes into force, which is a real profit for all employees in these areas. As the ver.di union announced in a current message, more than 200 employees in Delmenhorst and Hildesheim can benefit from these positive changes. What does that mean specifically?
The entry for bus drivers at Delbus is now around 600 euros per month higher for the first two years. For experienced drivers, the salary even increases by up to 1,000 euros. In addition, city traffic Hildesheim returns to the TV-N after 8.5 years with a lowered collective agreement. Negotiator Marian Drews from ver.di emphasizes how important the cooperation between the union, employees and companies is. The aim is to make public transport (public transport) more attractive.
good news for the employees
The advantages of the TV-N soon become noticeable: the employees in local transport receive full fee for step upstairs, benefit from annual special payments and a vacation entitlement. These improvements also apply to workers in public transport such as bus drivers, controls or vehicle craftsmen, because they are organized as part of the division of the division. Over 100 municipal companies in various cities and counties are affected by the tariff round that starts on December 5, 2023 and led to the termination of the area collective agreements in 14 federal states, which shows how dynamic the situation is in public transport.
For many employees, the increase in wages is a long overdue signal in an area that is considered not competitive. The dramatic lack of workers leads to failures of buses and trains every day. The union is certain here: the working conditions must be improved, and this includes not only an increase in wages, but also measures such as the shortening of the weekly working hours and additional relief days for shift and night work.
The way to the future
In the meantime, the collective bargaining contracts for many public transport employees in the countries of Baden-Württemberg, Hesse, Lower Saxony, North Rhine-Westphalia, Rhineland-Palatinate and Saxony are linked to that of TVöD. This means that tariff increases in TVöD also influence the table fees in TV-N. In this way, the influence of working conditions in public transport becomes visible, and the demands on employers are becoming increasingly clear: more free time, higher wages and a better work-life balance.
With regard to the upcoming negotiations, the ver.di union appeals to the municipal transport companies to take these positive developments seriously and to take into account the concerns of the employees. This is the only way to remain competitive in the region in the long run. According to the conclusion of ver.di, the new regulations are a crucial step in order to make the profession of bus drivers more attractive and to secure the necessary specialist acquisition.Overall, it can be seen that good cooperation between all actors - unions, companies, and also the municipalities - forms the basis for a strong and powerful public transport. It remains exciting how these developments will continue to develop in the coming months.
