Price increase in Leihinventar: Fire Brigade Gurnitz plans crisis session!
At the Gurnitz volunteer fire brigade, there is currently a crisis meeting that was triggered by massive price increases for the feasting event of the brewing union. A tent festival is planned in July, for which the fire brigade wants to rent urgently needed equipment. But instead of the usual 300 euros for 80 beer table sets, ten refrigerators and nine taps suddenly demands 4,000 euros. Gerhard Puff, who is responsible for the organization of the festival, is horrified: "We have been faced with completed facts. There is nothing left to negotiate, that is and that remains."
It is noted that even a more moderate price increase at 1,000 euros would have been acceptable for the same equipment, which would be a prize in a Klagenfurt drinks gross dealer. In order to compensate for the even higher costs, Commandant Robert Knapp plans to raise the beer prices for the festival, even though he reluctantly wants to do so. "We don't want and do that that we ask for six euros for an open beer," he explains, since you live with the population together and consider it a social mandate to keep prices moderately. Another point that puff leads is that the brewing union, as part of the Heineken group, has recorded a double-digit million profit. This raises questions about the fairness of your pricing policy.
reactions and new challenges
The bridal union itself commented on an inquiry from ORF and emphasized that all the feasible events were made available "purely cost -covering". However, the increased personnel costs as well as high transport and maintenance costs could no longer be collected exclusively internally. This Situation makes it even more challenging for the fire brigades to organize their festivities, especially since the leisure events can also become rare at peak times. In addition, many fire brigades often have to finance their own devices to improve their cash registers from the festivals.
The developments thus clearly show the difficulties with which the voluntary fire departments are faced with the new price structures of the brewing union. The intended cooperation between the breweries and the clubs could suffer considerably due to these economic barriers, while the plans for the tent festival require further clarifications to successfully implement the event.
