Germans worry their beloved kebab may get more pricy or even scarce because of factory strike

MURR, GERMANY, AUG 7 – Workers demand a €375 monthly wage increase amid nontransparent pay and unequal salaries, threatening supply to over 13 million customers, union says.

  • Employees at the kebab production plant near Stuttgart in southwestern Germany halted operations on Wednesday to demand a monthly pay raise of 375 euros.
  • The strike stems from ongoing disputes over wages and working conditions at one of Germany's largest kebab factories located in Murr, near Stuttgart.
  • Birtat supplies thousands of kebab stands serving over 13 million consumers monthly, while workers' warning strikes have raised fears of a kebab shortage and higher prices.
  • Longtime kebab seller Duman said the classic kebab now sells for 7.50 euros, and raising prices further risks losing customers, while budget-conscious consumers worry about price hikes and shortages.
  • The ongoing labor dispute and potential long-term strike suggest that Germany may face increased kebab prices or scarcity, affecting its beloved and affordable fast-food staple.
