Kirchdorf: Austerity measures at TCG Unitech and Stiwa trigger discussions
In a worrying turn, the automotive supplier TCG Unitech in Kirchdorf an der Krems 882 employees registered with the AMS premiere system. This has brought the company into a critical situation, which is now exacerbated by the upcoming negotiations with the management, the works council and the union. The talks that are expected to find possible solutions will start on Thursday afternoon.
The managing director of TCG Unitech, Thomas Schmalzer, emphasized that he does not want to release anyone, but this is only possible on the condition that the employees do without the collective wage or salary increase of 4.8 percent. This step illustrates the pressure that is on the company to cope with the current financial challenges. The willingness to negotiate is considered crucial by many sides.
criticism from the union side
It remains to be seen how long the negotiations will take and whether an interim result can be presented on Thursday. The disturbing situation at TCG Unitech could also have an impact on other companies. At Stiwa in Attnang-Puchheim from January, savings will also be made from January that could result in similar problems.
According to reports from Upper Austria, Stiwa will take measures that, among other things, provide for an unemployment message from the employees for two months and a reduction in working hours to 80 percent. Until the end of September 2025, these adjustments should work and go hand in hand with reductions in wages and salaries. Comprehensive measures to reduce costs are also planned for Stiwa, which will be informed in detail in a works meeting next Monday.
These developments give the conversations at TCG Unitech all the more urgency. The current economic situation in the automotive supply industry forces numerous companies to think about savings and find emergency solutions to secure jobs. The discussion about collective agreements and possible cuts have potentially far -reaching consequences for the employees concerned.
