  • IG Metall (German: Industriegewerkschaft Metall, English: "Industrial Union of Metalworkers'") is the dominant metalworkers' union in Germany, making it the country's largest union as well as Europe's largest industrial union. 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-war in 1949. 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) It had expanded from mining and metallurgy in to wood, plastics, textiles and other manufacturing sectors over the years. The IGM magazine metallzeitung has existed since 1949. In 2005 it had a circulation of over 2 million per issue. There are 12 issues per year.
