~ ————————————————- ——————– NOTICE OF CORRECTION In APA118 of November 11, 2018, the fourth sentence, the first sentence, should read correctly: Knick sees the support of the 39; salary expert … (not: Knill received the support of the expert in wages …) ———————- —————– —————————— Vienna (APA ) – Starting Monday, it will be in the metallurgical industry (FMMI) with 1,200 companies and some 130,000 employees on alert. Unions and employer representatives were unable to reach an agreement last week in the fifth round of negotiations at Metaller-KV.
Warning strikes should take place between Monday and Wednesday. To this end, the last few meetings of the company interrupted are repeated. Companies like Andritz, Magna, Miba, Bosch or parts of voestalpine could be affected, according to press reports.
While employers describe strikes as "planned," trade unionists do not feel taken seriously. They demand a salary increase of 5%. Employers offer just under half. "Our proposal to increase wages and salaries by 2.7% covers the last 2 months inflation of about 2%, as well as the overall increase in economic productivity of 0.7% virtually ", said the president of the professional badociation Christian Knill.
Knill sees the support of the salary expert from the Institute for Economic Research (Wifo). "Just would be a compensation for the progress of productivity and inflation," said Wifo economist, Thomas Leoni, in the "Wiener Zeitung" (Saturday edition). According to Wifo forecasts, productivity growth per hour in all sectors of the economy in 2018 is 0.7% and inflation is expected to be 2.1%. Knill is confirmed by the wifo, as announced by the professional badociation through broadcasting.
Wifo boss Christoph Badelt, however, expects "higher salary increases" than previously, as he announced in early October. The previous year, the KV degree rose to 3%. Central bank governor Ewald Nowotny had called union demand 5 percent more "without being too overwhelming". The ÖVP-FPÖ government also calls on the social partners to negotiate a "tangible" increase in wages.
Due to the government's extended maximum working hours, the fronts between the social partners are particularly tough this year. The workers' representatives want to "recover" in the KV negotiations what they "have been caught". Employers do not feel responsible.
When negotiations resume, it is always open. In five other smaller metallurgical industries, employing about 60,000 people, new negotiations will open in the coming week.
