News on the Road – Autoeuropa's CT accuses the administration of wanting to condition profits

"The company submitted a proposal for an agreement encompassing all the social guarantees existing in the company but subject to a termination clause, that is to say say intended to make the transport dependent on annual workers "The washing of work clothes, a special policy for pregnant women, etc.. This would open the door to the withdrawal of collective benefits to which workers are entitled, "says an internal statement from Autoeuropa's CT.

In practice, the company's management has maintained the values ​​that it has. she had already proposed for work on Sundays, that is to say that it is proposed to pay only one shift a week as extra work, which will be paid at 100 %, which will be further increased by 25% of the quarterly premium if the production targets set by the Volkswagen plant in Palmela are met.

to which the TC "immediately expressed dissatisfaction" by the content of the proposals submitted by the company, which "add absolutely nothing and are clearly unacceptable."

For CT Autoeuropa, "workload, increased effort" that is required of workers and changes that new schedules have in the personal life of e everyone and their families can not be devalued and must match their important counterparts. "

The release of the Autoeuropa CT also recalls that the negotiations with the administration continue next week and warns that the representative body of workers was mandated to discuss with the management of the company. undertaking improvements in compensation for continuous hours of work, and not to reduce them.

the administration pays the work on Sunday in the same manner as work on Saturday, that is, with an increase of 10 0% to which should be added the quarterly productivity bonus of 25%

This proposal from the Workers' Committee – which does not agree with the payment of Sundays as if it's been a day of normal work – had already been rejected but the workers believed that the dispute would be caught up in this round of negotiations, a scenario that seems less and less likely , considering the l & # 39; announcement made today by CT of the Volkswagen group plant in Palmela
