Great support with problems at work

I can contact them about any problem I have at work and I always get help and information. Is also nice to have their legal support when I have questions about laws in Germany.

Why IG Metall Lost 120,000 Members

The Statistics (2-Year Comparison)
• End of 2023: 2,136,326 members 
• End of 2024: 2,096,511 members 
• End of 2025: 2,015,495 members 
• Total 2-Year Loss: 120,831 members (approx. 5.6% drop)
The union lost roughly 81,000 members in 2025 alone, primarily due to massive job cuts in the automotive and electrical sectors and a high rate of retiring members.

Key Takeaway:

While membership is dropping, IG Metall's income increased to €648 million in 2025 because of higher wages and the "1% of gross" contribution model. This gap between rising union wealth and shrinking local presence is a major driver of the dissatisfaction.

Proudly been a member for 5-years

Proudly been a member for 5-years. I received excellent legal support when I had disputes, including winning 10,000 euros in back-pay. When I started a Works Council/Betriebsrat in my workplace, IG Metall supported me.
