IG BAU is the German Trade Union responsible for all branches of the construction industry and agriculture. We have offices all over Germany. A trade union is an organization that has been formed byworkers. In Germany, each trade unions is responsible for different branches. Together, we negotiate collective bargaining agreements which are applicable to companies or entire branches. Conditions in collective bargaining agreements are always better than those that are legally guaranteed. In addition, we give workers support in case of problems relating to workers rights and civil law. Trade unions finance themselves through membership fees. In this way they remain independent of political parties and employers. Membership is voluntary and employers are never informed.
