TCG Unitech in Kirchdorf: wage dispute and early warning system trigger uncertainty

Kirchdorf an der Krems. In a worrying development, the TCG Unitech in Kirchdorf decided to register at the labor market service (AMS) 882 of the 960 employees, which indicates upcoming dismissals. This is done in the context of a conflict on the wage increases negotiated in 2023 as part of the collective agreement.

Management recently announced that the wage adjustment of 4.8 percent, which was determined in the collective agreement, had not been implemented. Instead, the salary changes should be regulated via individual agreements. The conversations are already underway. The registration of the employees at the AMS could have dramatic consequences for many of them. Because for those who do not agree to the proposed changes, there is a risk of an amendment.

fears and uncertainties among the employees

According to Roswitha Grammer, the works council chairman, the situation is tense. "It is currently not yet to be estimated how many employees of the agreement agree and how many do not sign," she explains. This uncertainty means that many employees are unsettled and are afraid of their professional future, especially in view of the tense situation on the labor market.

It is also hoped that solutions can be found in the discussion about a possible social package in the near future to support the employees concerned. These developments are of crucial importance for the entire workforce because they could decide on future working conditions.
