Unions demand workplace guarantee after OMV and ADNOC DEAL!

The unions GPA and Pro-GE make serious: In the course of the new Petrochemie-Joint venture between the OMV and its major shareholder Adnoc from Abu Dhabi, they are calling for a binding employment guarantee for all employees in Austria. This guarantee has already been assured orally to the works council, but the unions require a written confirmation. According to Barbara Teiber from the GPA and Reinhold Binder from Pro-Ge, this is crucial to offer workers security and to consolidate Austria not only as a production location, but also as an innovation center. "We ask the OMV to sign the location guarantee in writing", says Teiber, such as oe24.at reports.

The new company, Borouge Group International, is said to have its headquarters in Vienna and will already be listed in Abu Dhabi before it will also be listed on the Vienna Stock Exchange in 2027. This not only has diversity, but also significant economic possibilities. However, the unions are of the opinion that the investments in the existing production and development locations in Austria must be secured. "We are proud of the stability and excellent training in Austria," added Binder, encouraging the State Holding ÖBAG to work for a clear employment guarantee in order to support economic stability in the region, such as ots.at reported.

demands for security grow

Teiber and Binder emphasize that the Austrian employees have proven in the past that they can provide outstanding services even under difficult economic conditions. "Now it is time for corporate management to honor this accordingly," said the union chairs. They emphasize the need to support employees with clear guarantees so that Austria can continue to shine as a location for innovation and technology.
