Abstract

In Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ist die Tarifbindung seit der Jahrtausendwende dramatisch gesunken: Derzeit gilt nur noch für 44 % der Beschäftigten im Land ein Tarifvertrag. Dies hat für die Beschäftigten spürbare Auswirkungen - ins-besondere bei den Löhnen, die bei tariflosen Arbeitgebern rund 14 % unter dem Niveau von vergleichbaren Betrieben mit Tarifvertrag liegen. Seit einigen Jahren deutet sich in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern zumindest eine Stabilisierung der Tarifbindung an. Getragen wird diese von Organisationserfolgen der Ge-werkschaften und der Landespolitik, die in den letzten Jahren die Bedeutung von Tarifverträgen erkannt hat und z. B. bei der Wirtschaftsförderung tariftreue Unternehmen begünstigt. Für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen ist jedoch eine weitere Stärkung des Tarifvertragssystems unabdingbar. Dazu bedarf es einer gemeinsamen Anstrengung von Gewerkschaften, Arbeitgebern und der Poli-tik, für die diese Studie praktische Handlungsoptionen aufzeigt
