The trade union for employees in the health sector was a trade union for employees in the health sector with its headquarters in Radolfzell . The union emerged from the care union, which was founded on June 15, 1991 by around 100 employees in Munich . Originally activities since 1986 in the working group for teaching staff at Nursing and Children's Nursing Schools in Lake Constance (AKUBO). In November 1992 the 1st trade union day of the nursing union took place in Kassel . On December 11 and 12, 1993 , the nursing union organized a first nursing congress in Karlsruhe . In October 1994 she led the first collective bargaining negotiations with a private employers' association, but they failed. In November 1995 she was an official member of the nationwide "Round Table Care Chamber ". In February 1996 the nursing union organized its first warning strike in a nursing home. In June 1996, after four years, the 2nd trade union day followed in Hanover and again confirmed Winfried Mönig as federal chairman. In the spring of 1996 the nursing union had around 2,178 members. At the 3rd trade union day in Hanover in October 2000, the care trade union was opened to all workers in the health sector, elderly and disabled workers and renamed the trade union for workers in the health sector (BIG). In 2009 the number of members fell below eight hundred. In this case, the union statutes provided the possibility of dissolving the BIG. After a previous member survey, the BIG was dissolved on July 31, 2009.
