Juergen Peters Quotations

If the employers are not able to make a negotiable offer and look for a solution at the negotiating table, there is no other option than to say 'enough is enough' and to call for a reasonable solution through warning strikes.

Pay talks have now become a pay-related workers' movement.

It is clear that employees' rights must be a focal point for every possible coalition.

We are not interested in conflict, we are interested in a solution.

We wanted security and security is what we have got.

That people don't want to give this away of their own free will goes without saying.

Our demands are affordable. They are in line with what the metals and electrical engineering industry can afford.

If there is no solution in sight by then, we will be forced to say that talks have officially failed.

The employees' side has absolutely no cause to support a coup. We're not interested.

I fear that the next wage round will be fierce ... You can never rule out a strike, although I don't wish to talk about one at the beginning of negotiations.
