“The employers have not submitted any offer for wage and salary increases,” the PRO-GE and GPA unions said on Friday. Therefore, an Austria-wide conference of works councils will take place on April 10th at the ÖGB headquarters to decide on how to proceed, according to the unions.
However, there were no demands from the unions, the Chamber of Commerce noted. In any case, the discussions were constructive, but were ended by both sides, according to the employer representatives. What has been agreed upon so far: The inflation rate relevant to the negotiations is 6.8 percent, the Chamber of Commerce and unions announced in unison.
“We will step up our pace”
“We are demanding a decent increase in income for the employees and a significant increase in apprentice incomes. We will now tighten things up with the works councils,” said the two chief negotiators for the employees, Reinhold Binder (PRO-GE) and Karl Dürtscher (GPA). Therefore, there could be company meetings before the next negotiation date on April 22nd.
The trade unionists are not only advocating wage and salary increases: they should also be able to achieve the sixth week of vacation more easily. Furthermore, the trade unionists are in favor of redesigning the anniversary bonus or converting it into free time. But part of the actual wage and salary increase should also be able to be exchanged for a week of free time.
