Munich Transit Strike Puts Spotlight on MVG Driver Pay as Exact Tariff Figures Published

The posted MVG pay scale under the TV‑N Bayern tariff now sets the baseline for the unresolved dispute.

Overview

  • SWM/MVG job ads list €3,265.30 gross per month during qualification, including a €270 Munich allowance.
  • After qualification, gross pay in regular driving duty totals about €3,676.27 with shift and other allowances, rising to roughly €3,785.58 after two years.
  • The TV‑N Bayern framework sets identical pay scales for U‑Bahn, tram and bus drivers, with progression capped at a defined maximum.
  • Monday’s walkout kept many vehicles in depots, clogged roads and left the S‑Bahn as the main alternative for many commuters.
  • Unions and striking employees are pressing for higher wages and improved conditions, with collective‑bargaining talks continuing without an agreement.
