Protests at TCG Unitech: Employees against salary changes

In the Upper Austrian City of Kirchdorf an der Krems, the signs are on unrest: The company TCG Unitech, an important automotive supplier with around 960, has submitted the registrations for 882 employees at the AMS early warning system. This could be worrying for the workforce, since the reasons for this measure could have far -reaching consequences.

Instead of implementing a collective wage increase of 4.8 percent for the metal industry, the company is planning individual agreements and amendments. The decision not to increase wages in the usual way causes excitement among the employees and could significantly burden the working atmosphere.

background to the changes

The decision of TCG Unitech to report so many employees at the AMS could indicate economic difficulties or structural changes in the company. The application for the early warning system of the labor market service (AMS) is often a sign that a company faces challenges that may lead to further cuts.

The changeover of collective agreement to individual agreements can also bring legal uncertainties for many employees. Such a practice could also raise questions about fair remuneration, especially in an industry in which wages and salaries are usually negotiated collectively.

The company itself has not yet commented on the motives and the other planned steps. This uncertainty does not contribute to calming the situation.

For the workforce of TCG Unitech, this development means a critical phase in which many questions remain open. The upcoming discussions and the type of agreements will be crucial for the future of employees and the stability of the company.
