Background

Deutscher Bankangestellten-Verband, usually called DBV, is a German trade union for employees in banks, insurers and financial service companies. It negotiates collective agreements and advises members on employment and social-law matters. Its membership extends beyond bank branches to the wider financial-services workforce.

the Union's published position on artificial intelligence calls for worker participation in the introduction of new systems, access to training and protection of employment. It treats collective agreements and workplace representation as ways to shape technological change. These are the Union's stated objectives, rather than guarantees that particular protections already exist in a contract.
