Future in focus: IG Metall mobilizes tens of thousands of protests!

On March 15, 2025, IG Metall calls for nationwide demonstrations under the motto "Future instead of clearing". Several ten thousand participants are expected in five cities - Hanover, Cologne, Frankfurt am Main, Stuttgart and Leipzig. These rallies aim to draw attention to the challenges that threaten German industry. The symbolic start time of the protests is five minutes before 12 noon.

In Hanover, IG Metall boss Christiane Benner will give a central speech. Their main focus is on the demands of the union, which demand a clear commitment to the employer on the locations in Germany. The IG Metall warns a stop of workplace reduction, location closings and relocations in order to secure the industrial basis and the jobs in the long term. In particular, the new federal government is asked to quickly improve the conditions for industry and to guarantee social security throughout, as stuttgart.igm.de

claims to politics

The IG Metall demands not only manifest themselves in a first reaction to current developments, but also require a long -term rethink in the political landscape. Employers must commit to their locations and actively contribute to the stability of the industry. In addition, a quick reaction from the new federal government is required to ensure social security and to secure the future of industry in Germany. The demonstrations should not only point out the problems, but also offer a platform to fight together for a better future, and not only within the businesses, but also in society as a whole.
