Attack on Breweries in Freiberg and Krostitz - Disruption at beer production sites in Freiberg and Krostitz: Breweries face interruptions
In the heart of Saxony, the brewing industry is currently facing a disruption as the NGG union takes action. The union is conducting warning strikes at breweries in Freiberg and Krostitz, demanding a 7% wage increase for workers in the Saxony-Thuringia brewing industry.
The strikes, part of ongoing labor actions, aim to close wage gaps in the industry. The impact of these actions has been felt at the affected breweries, with production being affected due to the work stoppage.
The NGG union has not shied away from expressing its intent to escalate the situation. It has called for further warning strikes in other breweries in Saxony, should negotiations not progress as desired.
The union's primary demand is a 7% increase in wages for the Saxon-Thuringian brewery industry. The NGG is also seeking to narrow the wage gap with employees in the western regions. The union's strike action is currently underway in the breweries of Freiberg and Krostitz.
It's important to note that the latest negotiations between the brewery employers and the NGG did not result in an offer. The employers have yet to make an offer during these negotiations.
Negotiations in the western tariff regions have already been completed. The NGG's push for higher wages in the Saxon-Thuringian brewery industry and wage parity with employees in the west marks a significant point in the ongoing labor dispute.
The strike commenced during the early shift on Thursday at the Freiberger Brewery and the Krostitzer Brewery. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the brewery employers will respond to the union's demands and whether further strikes will be called.
The Commission, in light of the labor dispute in the Saxony-Thuringia brewing industry, might consider proposing a directive to protect workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation in the manufacturing and finance sectors, as these industries also have health and safety concerns. The union's actions in the brewing industry could potentially inspire similar labor actions in other manufacturing industries seeking wage increases and parity with employees in western regions.
