On Wednesday, the social partners will meet in Vienna for the third round of negotiations for this year's collective agreement (CA) in the chemical industry, which employs around 50,000 people.
A specific wage demand from the unions or a percentage offer from the employers is not yet on the table. The employee representatives have already threatened to hold works meetings if no agreement is reached on Wednesday.
The employee representatives emphasized in a statement on Tuesday that they are aiming for a "sustainable overall package, including real wage and salary increases with special consideration for those on lower incomes." The employers, on the other hand, point to the difficult competitive situation and the high labor and energy costs.
