The collective negotiations on working and salary conditions in Volkswagen Slovakia that were restored on March 29, after a two-month break, are not very successful, according to trade union MOW. The MOV claims that if the negotiations, scheduled for April 20, do not move in the direction of conditions advantageous for employees, they are ready to halt the talks. The trade unions will subsequently ask the Labour Ministry to appoint a mediator and will start preparations for a general strike.

The trade unions UGT FICA Industria Construcción y Agro and CCOO Construcción y servicios reported that the OHL Group has submitted a Redundancy Dismissal Procedure affecting a total of 554 workers from the construction and industrial construction divisions. It will affect 404 workers out of 1452 from the construction division and 150 out of 442 from the industrial construction division. The established commission for the negotiation, together with the trade unions UGT and CCOO, expressed their total opposition to the redundancy procedure, because it is disproportional, unfair and inappropriate.

The restoration of pay for all teachers is high on the agenda for three teachers unions. While some progress has been made for members of two teacher unions who have started on lower pay since 2011, the recently qualified teachers’ growing proportion of the profession means the government will remain under pressure to put them back on full pay parity. The Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland (ASTI) has foregone those partial restorations as it maintains an industrial action campaign in which strikes on the specific issue are currently suspended.

The trade unions would like to see the minimum monthly wage increased by €57 to €492 in 2018. This would mean an increase of 13.1% from the current €435. Positive macroeconomic developments, as well as the economic condition of both the public and private sectors, speak in favour of minimum wage growth of this magnitude, argue trade unions. While the Labour, Social Affairs and Family Ministry supports the hike, employers warn that such a high increase would make it difficult for low-earners to find jobs and they have called for a scheme to calculate the hike in the minimum wage.

Tensions between the management of Tesla and its workers’ representatives have escalated to threats of a strike 3 months away from the planned start of the new Tesla Model 3 production. The head of the works council said that, while workers are excited about the prospect of working for Tesla, they also liked the security of having a broad range of clients. Workers are seeking a renegotiation of their labour agreement to get reassurance that Tesla is committed to local jobs in Prüm and they want to increase their compensation. In terms of salary, it seems that the union members are seeking an increase of 400 euro per month, while Tesla is offering 150 euros and stock options in the company.

Employers in the retail sector and trade union CNV are discussing the introduction of a four-year contract for retail workers which includes a budget for training, as part of a their collective bargaining agenda. The aim, employers and trade union CNV say, is to increase workers’ chances at finding work later on while at the same time providing flexible staff for retailers. At the moment some 300,000 people work in supermarkets and small retailers, such as greengrocers and butchers. Most are younger than 23 and have contracts for a year with a maximum of 12 hours a week. Just 25% to 30% have a permanent contract. Trade union FNV is sceptical about the proposal, whilst labour law experts have explained that in the current situation a start with a four-year contract is already possible.

Cabin workers from SATA International/Azores Airlines have announced that they will be on strike from 1 May to 2 May 2017, according to a statement released to the press by the National Union of Civil Aviation (SNPVAC). The two day stoppage, which will include ‘all Azores Airlines/SATA International flights’, will fulfil only the ‘minimum services’. According to SNPVAC, failure by the company to comply with several agreements signed with the union employees was the reason for the strike.
