Trade Union's mediation proposal accepted by Oettinger - Trade Union Extends Olive Branch to Oettinger with proposal for Mediation
Oettinger Brewery Faces Potential Disruption as Union Calls for Wage Agreement
Tensions are mounting at Oettinger Brewery as protests have erupted at their headquarters in Bavaria, Oettingen, as well as at three other production sites, calling for a "fair wage agreement." The brewery, which has four production sites nationwide, employs a total of 880 workers.
The brewery's struggle is not unique, as many German breweries are grappling with declining sales and further contraction is expected. In this context, Oettinger has announced plans to close its branch brewery in Braunschweig next year.
In an attempt to resolve the issue, the trade union NGG has offered voluntary mediation to the management. However, the exact date of the mediation talks between Oettinger and the NGG union has not been publicly specified.
Fouad Laghmouch, the NGG trade union secretary, has expressed his expectations for the immediate start of these mediation talks in the coming days. He has also threatened further work stoppages if a breakthrough is not made by the end of the week. Laghmouch emphasised that the employer needs to make a serious wage offer and conclude negotiations promptly.
In support of their stance, the trade union has already submitted a concrete proposal. They also believe that a mediator should be involved in the negotiations to facilitate a fair agreement. If the employer agrees to these terms, it may help to alleviate the current unrest and pave the way for a more harmonious working environment.
As the situation continues to evolve, it remains to be seen how Oettinger Brewery will respond to the demands of its workers and the NGG union. The potential for further disruption cannot be ruled out, as Laghmouch has made it clear that he is prepared to take further action if necessary.
