IG Metall (German: ''Industriegewerkschaft Metall'', "Industrial Union of Metalworkers'") is the dominant metalworkers' union in Germany, making it the country's largest union〔Erik Kirschbaum (June 8, 2015), (Moderate head of powerful German union steps down unexpectedly ) ''Reuters''.〕 as well as Europe's largest industrial union.〔Hendrik Sackmann (May 18, 2012), (German IG Metall, employers confirm 4.3 percent wage deal ) ''Reuters''.〕 Analysts of German labor relations consider it a major trend-setter in national bargaining. The name refers to the union's metalworkers roots dating back to the start of unions in imperial Germany in the 1890s, though this formal organization was founded post-ware in 1949 .〔Wikipedia DE〕 Over the years the union has taken on representation in industries beyond mining of minerals to include manufacturing and industrial production, machinists, printing industry, which includes modern automobile manufacturing and steel production as part of its blue-collar root, but also includes more white-collar sectors such as electrical and other forms of engineeering, information systems, and with the combining of formerly separate unions for workers in wood, plastics, textiles and clothing, includes non-metal blue-collar workers. 〔 Major accomplishments of IG Metall in the German labor market include, applied to the regions/covered employees:〔 *5 day work week (1959) *Paid vacation time consessions (1962) *40 hr work week (1965–67) *Paid sick leave (1970) *35 hr work week (attempts not yet successful 1984) *34 hr work week in metal industry (1995) IGM is a member of the German Confederation of Trade Unions (Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund, DGB). IGM is also a member of some international union umbrella organisations. == Recent history == On April 1, 1998 the Gewerkschaft Textil und Bekleidung (GTB), the trade union of textile and clothing joined IGM. On January 1, 2000 the Gewerkschaft Holz und Kunststoff (GHK), the trade union of wood and plastics joined IGM. Deals agreed by IG Metall in the pilot region of Baden-Württemberg, an industrial and car-making hub and home to Daimler and Bosch, traditionally serve as a template for agreements across the country.〔Ilona Wissenbach (July 30, 2015), (Germany's IG Metall union agrees 3.4 pct wage rise ) ''Reuters''.〕 Today, IG Metall mainly represents employees at major car makers such as Daimler, BMW, Porsche and industrial giant Siemens. Its membership had been dropping in recent decades, yet the union managed to somewhat reverse that trend recenly by gaining 30,000 members between 2010 and 2015.〔Erik Kirschbaum (June 8, 2015), (Moderate head of powerful German union steps down unexpectedly ) ''Reuters''.〕 In 2015, IG Metall and the U.S. United Automobile Workers (UAW) announced that they would deepen their partnership and set up an office in Tennessee to boost labor rights at German automakers and their suppliers based in the United States.〔Kirsti Knolle and Tim Ghianni (November 19, 2015), (Germany's IG Metall to deepen ties with U.S. union UAW ) ''Reuters''.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IG Metall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
