KV-Security: Agreement Still Unreached

The second round of collective bargaining negotiations in the security industry has ended without an agreement. The third round will take place on November 27.

In the security industry, the second round of collective bargaining negotiations for 2026 also ended without an agreement. The "final offer" from the employers' side, described as an average increase of "3.01 percent," was deemed insufficient by the employee representatives of the vida union. Vida criticized the offer as a "sham package," as more than half of the employees would only receive 2.8 percent, which is below the rolling inflation rate of 3.01 percent.

In a statement on Tuesday evening, the Chamber of Commerce pointed to the "extremely difficult market conditions" faced by its member companies. The vida union, in its own statement, highlighted the increased revenues of the security industry in the previous year and called on the employer representatives to present an improved offer for the third round of negotiations on November 27.
