The tourism and trade union sectors blame each other for the stalemate. The point of contention is, among other things, an allowance for the cost of living.
In fact, at the beginning of December, an offer was on the table that the Vida trade union and the negotiators from the catering industry agreed on: inflation compensation of 9.5 percent, including inflation compensation of 100 euros per month until April 2023. In January, the employers side no longer wanted the offer. know and submitted a new offer. This provided only 8.5 percent inflation compensation.
“Haven’t Signed Yet”
“Moreover, it is not certain whether the inflation rate should not also be added to the inflation compensation. That’s why we haven’t signed it yet,” says Reinhard Stemmer from vida. The chairman of the tourism division Markus Kegele and Mike Pansi from gastronomy naturally give the union the money. An offer ready for signature has already been submitted several times. The premium living expenses are now paid out of pocket.
