Employers' Association and Public Banks Collective Bargaining Association

Employers' association

The Federal Association of Public Banks in Germany, VÖB, is the only association of the banking industry that also acts as an employers' association for its member institutions. As an employers' association, it represents the interests of its members. The VÖB supports them in all questions of labor law as well as social security issues and informs them about the essential changes in legislation and case law. In addition, it represents the interests of its members vis-à-vis the legislative bodies as well as government and administrative bodies. As an employers' association, the VÖB also exercises the right to propose the appointment of honorary judges for labor jurisdiction.

Public Banks Collective Bargaining Association

The collective bargaining community of public banks exists within the employers' association. The collective bargaining law and collective bargaining policy tasks, in particular the conclusion of collective agreements, are performed exclusively by the collective bargaining community of public banks. All member institutions of the VÖB can join the collective bargaining community of public banks.

The collective bargaining association of public banks has been active since 1954. Since the VÖB was founded in 1916, the employees of the member institutions have been viewed as bank employees and not as members of the public service. Until 1972 the collective bargaining commission of the VÖB concluded separate collective agreements for its members. Between 1972 and 2020 there was a negotiating community between the employers 'association of the private banking industry (AGV Banken) and the public banks, which in the meantime also included the employers' association of Volks- und Raiffeisenbanken (AVR). As of 2020, the collective bargaining community of public banks will again conduct collective bargaining independently.
