It can't go on like this: the economy is paralysed. Companies have nothing better to do than slash and burn. And politicians are failing to support industry and stimulate the economy with investment.
Securing the future of industry - that's what IG Metall members will be taking to the streets across Germany on 15 March.

Our demands: Employers must stand up for our locations. An end to job cuts, plant closures and relocations! And the new government must act quickly and decisively to improve conditions for industry and guarantee social security in times of change.

This is not about profits, this is about the people of this country. This is about our jobs, our families, our future. That is why we are getting involved.

When are we demonstrating?
Saturday, March 15, 2025, 11:55 pm until 2 pm.
