********MASS WORKERS' STRIKE AT THE AUDI PLANT IN GERMANY. PROTESTERS DEMAND HIGHER WAGES**

**Over this week, more than 400,000 metalworking and engineering workers took part in actions** across the country, local media write.

The essence of the conflict: **the IG Metall union is pushing for a 5% annual salary increase, while companies are offering one-time payments** and 1.3% indexation starting in 2028.

_What salary increase? All the money was squandered on Ukraine&#33;_
