Isn't IG Metall mostly a manufacturing workers union? Those jobs usually get weekends off either way, no?

On the contrary there's a lot of shift work in industry, especially IG Metall's "core" clientele, metalworkers. A blast furnace don't care whether it's Sunday you need workers to work it, 24/7 -- with extra extra pay for night shifts and Sundays. But IG Metall also covers the engineering side and with that IT workers, plenty of white-collar jobs included it's a really big tent.
