Because the fourth Tour of the KV negotiation round for the 12,000 employees at private bus companies did not yield any results, there is a strike for the first time on Thursday.
“Today, employers have not brought a significantly improved offer to the table. Our requirements for a noticeable improvement in working conditions for bus drivers are still not being taken seriously, ”De Unie argues the failed end of the fourth round of negotiations.
Although the rolling inflation of 3.5 percent was compensated, there were small concessions in food. “As far as working conditions are concerned, only marginal, but no real auxiliary measures were on the table,” said negotiating director Anil Zümrüt. For example, help for shared services and breaks would continue to be related to loss of income, with regard to the expansion of the night surcharge, employers would not have moved at all.
“Help for economic suicide”
With strikes on Thursday from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. Martin Horvath, head negotiator of the bus industry in the WKö, describes the strikes as “ruthless and with serious consequences for thousands of passengers” and the demands as “help for economic suicide”.
The last range of employers is not associated with a single deterioration for employees: an extension of the 100 percent compensation was offered with one hour before 2025, as well as noticeable exemption for long or shared services in Line Traffic. In the future, steering wheel would have had the right to refuse reduced rest periods or shared services.
Conversations with employers have had improved working conditions for two years. The trade union accuses the companies a “self -linking the staff”. Three negotiating rounds have not been successful so far, now the fourth has failed.
In its demands, the trade union is also seen by the study results of a study by the University of Vienna entitled “Bus Lenitor: Inside at the Limit”. Almost 83 percent answered the question “Which aspects that describe your work?”
