This year’s metal negotiations, in which employers and employees faced each other for the seventh time on Monday, are procedures like never before. And there would be a solution that would benefit both parties – and (almost) all Austrians, as economic researcher Monika Köppl-Turyna explains in an interview with Krone+.
“You can go to the shit”: What employee representative Reinhold Binder thinks about the previous offers from employers of metal workers is clear and readable for the public. The seventh round also took place on Monday without an agreement. How the standoff between the two parties can be resolved without a wage increase, what Austria must do to avoid falling deeper into the crisis next year, and why we will ultimately have to pay for any wage increase ourselves: Krone+ spoke to the head of the economic research institute Eco Austria, asked Monika Köppl-Turyna.
