KV negotiations – trade: Union now issues an ultimatum

Date:

Even after four retail collective bargaining negotiations, there is still no agreement. While employers continue to insist on one-off payments, the union is demanding a “permanent, substantial salary increase”, as chief negotiator Helga Fichtinger emphasized in the evening. An ultimatum was given to the employers.

If there is no new negotiation date on November 29, strikes on December 2 and 3 are possible. In any case, there are now working meetings on 24 and 25 November. The strikes would hit the industry hard because December 3 is the second shopping Saturday.

Union gave in to the wage demand
The union has softened the wage demand somewhat and is now asking for 8.5 percent plus a minimum, giving the low-income earners a double-digit increase. According to Fichtinger, the average salary increase would amount to 9.37 percent. This meets the desire of employers to “flatten out”. However, a one-time payment is not acceptable.
