The social partners in Hessen opened, in early march, collective negotiations in retail trade. Mid-march, they were followed by the social partners in Bade-Württemberg. Their colleagues in Bavaria and North-Rhine will start bargaining in April, and so on until June. Berlin, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg will bring up the rear. These successive waves come from the fact that the social partners in retail trade haven’t organized sectoral bargaining in years. “We negotiate in every region. In theory, there is no pilot region even though it is obvious that the first agreements signed influence the following” explained Ulrike Hörchens, spokesman for the German Federation of Commerce (HDE).
