Bargaining Commission News Today

Barely a week after the IG BAU construction union called off its strikes and agreed a wage settlement, construction companies have announced 10,000 job cuts.

The Vice President of the General Association of Personnel Service Providers (GVP), Sebastian Lazay, announced in a letter last week that he is resigning from the positions of the GVP as Vice President and Chairman of the Collective Bargaining Commission (B-binding) as of 31 January 2024.

This statement was agreed upon Tuesday at a combined meeting of the Public Sector and Postal Workers Action Committees.

Following the union’s acceptance of a miserable deal for the metal and electrical industries, workers’ anger with a contract cementing the third consecutive cut in real wages is growing.
