This is apparently what has been done this year: the warning strike Monday will take place around the KV Metaller. In the metalworking companies (FMMI) with more than 130,000 employees, the last few business meetings interrupted are repeated.
By looking more closely at the cards of the company in which the work is stopped, the union negotiators wanted under the direction of Rainer Wimmer (PRO-GE) and Karl Dürtscher (GPA-djp) but do not leave it. According to information from the APA, the warning strikes at FMMI's premises are expected to last at least Wednesday. In the other five parts of the KV, the Metaller negotiations are continuing, however. Together, they will increase the pressure, according to Wimmer and Dürtscher. "We will defend the common CT (for all metallurgists from different sub-sectors with a total of over 190,000 employees, note) with all their might," Wimmer said.
Employers, whose approach is "absurd", also feel "a little crazy," say trade unionists. The achievements had already been "thrown overboard" by the employers in the evening. Last but not least, you received an offer over the phone that you simply could not take seriously.
On the employers' side, at 11 pm, at the request of the APA – even before the union broke out – it was said that there were "concrete offers".
Ten hours of negotiation
"It's difficult and difficult," said the two unionists around 7:30 pm during a first break. Until an agreement, it was "a long way". Negotiations have not progressed around 22 hours. On the contrary, the chief trade union negotiators took a break by temporarily leaving the negotiations for their own extended round of negotiations – company committees at the ÖGB-Haus. inform on the progress of the negotiations.
After all, it was early in the night, but the subject of money, and not just as in the afternoon just right, was to be discovered.
"Both parties must move"
"It will move both sides, but the union will have to take a big step forward," said the president of the metallurgical industry, Christian Knill, before the journalists before the start of negotiations. Until now, the union would have "not moved by a millimeter". It must be taken into account that the recovery has weakened, says Knill.
Rainer Wimmer, boss of PRO-GE, and Karl Dürtscher, boss of the GPA, said the threat of strike before the start of negotiations. "We have more than 370 business meetings with unanimous decisions behind us, which means that if there is no result today, there will be a strike." With strikes (warning) expected from Monday noon, there is an agreement. Employers should now clearly indicate what they are willing to offer. "We hope that today the ball will start rolling again without result today, it is getting serious," Wimmer said.
No money at the meeting of the company
Oil poured into the fire of the Tyrolean manufacturer of high performance materials, Plansee. The workers' representatives criticized the management for not having paid for the first time for the duration of the meetings.
"This procedure is totally strange in such a flagship company.It has no legal basis and exerts mbadive indirect pressure on employees," complained Christoph Scheiber, Chairman of the Plansee Employee Business Committee. and KV negotiator of the GPA-djp employee union. Nevertheless, about 850 employees have attended corporate meetings in recent days.
List of participants
According to the union, Plansee's management made it difficult for employees to participate in company meetings. In addition to the shortfall, employees had to register their participation in the electronic time registration system by means of a specially programmed key. In addition, supervisors had to list all participating employees by name, it was said. "Such a procedure did not exist in the 97-year history of Plansee," Scheiber said.
Plansee pointed out to the ORF Tirol that they supported a fair compromise but did not sympathize with the protest measures. Planee refuses to dispute the conflict over the CT negotiations and works councils would be used to discuss issues that can not be resolved in the workplace. In addition, it is common practice to pay for a business meeting a year. After a business meeting, the company committee had already been informed in the summer that any other business meeting would not be paid for by the company, it was said.
