An employee was dismissed a few hours after the announcement of a corresponding works meeting, according to a union broadcast.
In addition, the employer sent the workforce home on Wednesday an hour and a half before the planned works meeting, according to Krumpeck. The ÖGB also suspects an “intolerable motive dismissal. Anyone who tries to prevent a works council election with such means is acting anti-democratically and violating the Labor Constitution Act,” said state chairman Erich Mauersics. It is actually stipulated that a works council must be approved if there are five or more employees.
At the request of OÖN, the group spokesman was no longer available in the early evening. It was also not possible to determine whether and at which locations the group, which also has locations in other countries, has works councils.
