The fall pay round with metal workers began on Thursday. And it ended with a great surprise.
“Corona has completely shaken us,” says chief employee negotiator Rainer wimmer at the start of a press conference at 12 noon. Then suddenly add in the second sentence: “I can report, there is a conclusion.” That is, with the metal technology industry trade association, which is also the largest and most important association among metalworkers with nearly 120,000 employees.
You have a degree “in the amount of 1.45 percent” accomplished, says Wimmer. In addition, there must be a recommendation, a single “Premium crown of 150 euros” to pronounce. Real wages and salaries and KV will be increased from November. Employers are said to have previously offered a one-time bonus of 550 euros. However, the union did not want a single bonus and was demanding a “sustainable” increase in wages and salaries.
TO Time accounts For a limited period until the end of 2023, employees in the metal technology industry can now accumulate a total of 180 fewer hours instead of 120.
Due to the crown crisis, the FMTI really wanted to postpone TC negotiations before 2021., but the union was strictly against it. The metallurgical trade qualification is considered to set the trend for negotiations in other industries.
Employer satisfied with graduation
Now employers are satisfied with the historically quick conclusion. “It was very important to reach an agreement very quickly,” said the president of the Metal Technology Industry Association (FMTI). Christian knill.
They didn’t want to cause a lot of unrest in companies through lengthy collective bargaining, Knill said. With the increase in real wages and salaries and KV from November by 1.45 percent, the Inflation rate of the last 12 months paid exactly. Learning assignments and almost all assignments also increase by this percentage.
The increase in the previous year was between 2.6 and 2.8 percent
For companies that are doing better financially, the trade association recommends one tax exempt crown bond up to 150 euros. The pay and salary increase and the bonus is a “recognition to our employees,” said employer representative Knill. “Especially in difficult times you have to be united.” The quick conclusion would bring the company “security and peace of mind in planning.” Due to the corona crisis, the metal tech industry expects a drop in sales of around 20 percent this year.
Last year, employer and worker representatives agreed after five rounds to a salary increase and staggered salary between 2.6 percent and 2.8 percent.
