Around 20,000 doctors in 23 university hospitals nationwide are to go on a warning strike in the collective bargaining dispute over the income and working conditions of these doctors. The Marburger Bund has called on its members to go on strike on January 30th, the doctors’ union said. This was preceded by an unsuccessful third round of negotiations. A central warning strike rally is to take place in Hanover.
According to the Marburger Bund, the collective bargaining association of German states (TdL) refuses to fundamentally improve the collective bargaining and working situation of doctors in university hospitals. The states left the doctors at the university hospitals “out in the cold,” said the deputy head of the doctors’ union, Andreas Botzlar.
Higher surcharges for nights and weekends
There is a great need for action to make medical services at university hospitals more attractive for doctors again. “Without substantial improvements, the dissatisfaction of doctors will become even greater,” said Botzlar.
In the negotiations with the TdL, the Marburger Bund is demanding 12.5 percent more salary per year as well as higher supplements for regular work at night, on weekends and on public holidays. The Marburger Bund justified the requested linear increase with inflation and the goal of closing the salary gap with other hospital providers.

The collective agreement for doctors does not apply to all university hospitals. In Berlin, Hamburg and Hesse, different collective agreements apply to doctors. In-house collective agreements also apply to the university hospitals in Dresden and Mainz; The Marburg Federation negotiates these contracts separately with the relevant state associations.
