Strike Persists at Charité Subsidiary CFM
Employees at the Charité's Facility Management (CFM) continue their strike today, as announced by the union Verdi. The impact on hospital patients remains unclear at this time.
Approximately 3,500 individuals make up the CFM workforce, performing duties in various sectors, such as medical technology, patient transport, cleaning, and security. Verdi is advocating for these 3,200 employees to receive payment according to the public service collective agreement applicable at Charité.
Negotiations with the CFM management have reached a standstill, according to Verdi. Currently, there is no agreement in sight, as employees have yet to receive a concrete offer, even after intensive three-day negotiations. The CFM is requesting further concessions in terms of employee classification.
A central strike meeting is scheduled for today, where future actions will likely be discussed.
