On Monday, April 13, 2026, negotiations started for a new collective labor agreement and social plan for Deutsche Bank employees.
Head-up collective labor agreement and social plan
De Collective Labor Agreement Banks is the sector-wide collective labour agreement that also applies to Deutsche Bank. A top-tier collective labour agreement, such as the one Deutsche Bank has, outlines additional agreements. The negotiations we are currently conducting concern the top-tier collective labour agreement. We are not negotiating a wage increase, as Deutsche Bank follows the wage increase agreed upon in the Banks Collective Labour Agreement.
Deutsche Bank has its own social plan. This expired on January 1, 2026, and the bank would like to extend it unchanged until January 1, 2027.
Learning objectives and topics
The trade unions are jointly paying extra attention to the ongoing training and development of employees. This is because (major) reorganizations are currently taking place in the financial sector, including within Deutsche Bank. Therefore, it is important that employees keep their knowledge and skills up to date. You can read our full letter of intent here. here .
Deutsche Bank has proposed the introduction of the PRF (Profession and Role Framework). This is a model in which job roles are described (among other things), but its implementation could also affect how your salary development is structured.
De Unie has requested Deutsche Bank to provide a clear overview of PRF and to map out the differences compared to the current working method. Only then can we discuss this with the members.
Schedule
The next meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 18, 2026. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please let us know via steef.bilars@unie.nl.
