After four fruitless rounds of talks for this year's collective agreement for the electrical and electronics industry with around 60,000 employees, a new date has now been set. A new round of negotiations has been agreed for Friday, June 6, starting at 2:00 PM, the union PRO-GE announced on Friday. "There is considerable unrest in the companies. The disappointment with the current offer is great," said PRO-GE chief negotiator Reinhold Binder and GPA chief negotiator Eva Scherz.

According to the union, the employers' offer for wage and salary increases is between 0 and 1.5 percent, but remains significantly below the relevant inflation rate of 2.76 percent. "We insist on genuine negotiations with a substantially improved, appreciative offer. If this does not come on June 6, we will significantly increase the pressure in the companies," said Binder and Scherz according to the release.
