KV Negotiations: Company Meetings in the Electrical Industry

Due to the stalled collective bargaining negotiations for the approximately 60,000 employees in the electrical and electronics industry, company meetings lasting one to two hours are taking place across Austria until Wednesday.

"We are increasing the pressure on employers and informing employees in the companies about the status of the negotiations in the coming days," said PRO-GE chief negotiator Reinhold Binder. According to the union, around 40 company meetings in the electrical industry are scheduled for Wednesday alone, including at Siemens, Infineon, Zumtobel, Andritz Hydro, TSA, Elin, AT&S, and AMS AG.

Employee representatives had pointed to the negotiation-relevant inflation of 2.76 percent after the failed third round of negotiations. However, according to the unions, the offer from the Association of the Electrical and Electronics Industry (FEEI) was 1 percent.
