German Public Workers Strike as Unions Demand 7% Pay Rise

Four unions representing over 2 million employees seek 7% raise; Ubisoft staff in France and Italy stage a three-day walkout

Public sector employees staged warning strikes across German cities as four unions pressed for a 7% pay increase with a €300 monthly floor during collective bargaining talks in Potsdam. Walkouts affected daycare centers, schools and government offices, and about 6,000 workers gathered for a mass rally in Potsdam. The unions — GEW, Verdi, IG-Bau and the GdP — say they represent more than 2 million public employees and warn of further nationwide strikes if employers do not present an offer in the third bargaining round.

Elsewhere in Europe, at least 1,200 Ubisoft employees joined a three-day international strike from February 10 to 12, concentrated in France with additional action at Ubisoft Milan, in response to recent restructuring that included studio closures and six game cancellations. In the United Kingdom, staff in the National Education Union’s London region began a strike on February 10 over alleged bullying and misogyny within the organization after grievances first raised in August 2025. Together, the developments show concurrent labor disputes this week across public services, education and the video game industry in Europe.

Key Insight

Labor actions reported this week occurred concurrently in Germany, France, Italy, and the United Kingdom, spanning public services, education, and video game development.
