Austria -Collective bargaining in metal starts in grim climate -September 25, 2014

In recent years we have reported about the changes in the collective bargaining tradition of the metal sector. Recently, collective bargaining started in the metal sector. The outcome always sets the standard for the wage trend in other industries. The six employers federations for the separate branches, in a sector with in total 180,000 employees, negotiate separate wage levels. The first talks led to no results and the negotiations have been postponed to 7 October.
