Austria - Metal workers negotiate still with no result - October 31, 2016

The trade unions will intensify the pressure on the employers in the metal sector, as the negotiations for a collective agreement are not yet successful. It took ten hours in a third round of negotiations without any agreement. The actual agreement expires 1 November 2016. The trade unions PRO-GE and GPA-djp that demand a pay increase of 3%, with special attention for the low-paid, have announced regional manifestations and, if necessary, protest meetings at plant level. The next negotiations are in November.
