19th Century

Starting in the 1830s, industrialization transformed the world of work: mass production replaced artisanal craftsmanship, and machines set the pace. The working class had no protections or rights. For a pittance, adults and children toiled 14 hours a day or more in the factories. Resistance was suppressed by a police state. Yet the workers organized themselves. (Photo: IG Metall)

Turn of the Century

As industrialization progressed, the plight of the working class worsened. But the unions fought back, demanding shorter workdays and free time for physical recovery. From 1910 to 1913 alone, there were around 9,000 strikes involving more than one million participants. It was not until the November Revolution that the eight-hour workday for all—six days a week—was achieved. (Photo: Berliner Verlag/Archive/pa)

The 1920s

The Works Council Act of 1920 guaranteed the rights of employees in the workplace. Employers repeatedly sought to undermine the eight-hour workday. The unions fought back in fierce labor struggles. Yet internal conflicts arose within the working class. The Great Depression, inflation, and unemployment strengthened nationalist forces. (Photo: picture-alliance/akg-images)

1933–1945

The National Socialists’ seizure of power marks the provisional end of free trade unions. On May 2, 1933, the fascists stormed the union headquarters—those who could not flee were arrested, tortured, and murdered. Many union members managed to go underground. From there, and even while in captivity, they continued to resist. (Photo: iStock/ChiccoDodiFC)

Postwar period and the 1950s

Workers and their works councils rebuilt the companies. In 1949, IG Metall was founded on the principle of a unified trade union—thus ending the division of the working class into Social Democrats, Communists, and Christians. In 1956, IG Metall secured the five-day workweek and fought for continued pay during sick leave for blue-collar workers as well. (Photo: DGB)

The 1960s through the 1980s

These years were marked by struggles for higher pay, more free time, and democracy in the workplace. IG Metall secured double-digit wage and salary increases and pushed through shorter work hours, more vacation time, and vacation pay. Union representatives were empowered and protected by collective bargaining agreements. In 1984, the transition to the 35-hour workweek was successfully implemented. (Photo: IG Metall)

The 1990s

After reunification, East German industry collapses. Millions of jobs are lost. The ensuing crisis and rising unemployment define the decade. Joining forces becomes necessary: IG Metall merges with the Textile and Apparel and Wood and Plastics unions. (Photo: iStock/NatalyaLucia)

The Turn of the Millennium

Job security, partial retirement, the hiring of trainees, and the fight against the abuse of temporary agency work are key priorities in the new millennium. During the 2009 financial and banking crisis, collectively bargained short-time work and reduced working hours with partial wage compensation prevent the worst effects on workers in Germany.

Today and Tomorrow

Now more than ever, it is essential to embed employee participation in the workplace. Collective bargaining coverage, greater equity in the workplace and society, the right to training, greater control over one’s own time, and shaping the digital world of work and the ongoing transformation are major challenges. We are rising to them. (Photo: IG Metall)
