GBH Salzburg: State chairman Othmar Danninger brilliantly confirmed with 100 percent
Salzburg (OTS) – The union moves a lot, especially now in times of crisis. It is the organization that fully supports the employees and their interests, that fights for higher wages, better working conditions and functioning framework conditions even in times of crisis and that is always there for its members with advice and support. Othmar Danninger was confirmed as state chairman of the BAU-HOLZ (GBH) union during the state conference with 100 percent.
Since 2020, we have been in changing crisis situations from which people and the economy are suffering. From Covid measures in the workplace that made it possible to continue working in our industries, to thousands of hours of consulting services, to sensible KV agreements in a functioning social partnership, we were always active for our members.
Step in where the federal government fails
After the GBH successfully concluded two-year collective agreements in 2023, a real wage increase will take effect for 18 GBH sectors from May 1, 2024. This results from a wage increase that is guaranteed to be above rolling inflation. The KV increases of between plus 9.5 and 9.9 percent agreed in spring 2023 were also significantly above rolling inflation. Thanks to GBH, it might be ensured as early as spring 2023 that employees in the construction, wood and stone sectors benefit from an effective and sustainable measure in the fight once morest inflation. In addition, the minimum wage might be increased by up to 20 percent in several collective agreements from May 1, 2023 and is now over 2,600 euros in some areas. Thanks to the GBH, noticeable and sustainable measures once morest inflation might be taken this spring and the GBH stepped in where the federal government had failed since the beginning of the inflation crisis.
The future is by no means a cushion of peace
Measures once morest the economic downturn, for better annual employment and for more participation are just as necessary as effective protection for colleagues at work in the face of increasing heat due to climate change.
Josef Muchitsch, GBH Federal Chairman: “We still have many issues that we have to work on – and we have the solutions! Our demands and proposed solutions are summarized in the motions that will be discussed and decided in our state and federal conferences as well as at the union conference this fall. They set the course and form the cornerstones of our work in the next five years. I would like to congratulate the entire GBH Salzburg team on their excellent election result. We are prepared for future challenges and will continue to support the concerns of employees.
The GBH management bodies have been newly elected and the colleagues will assume their responsibilities in the interests of the employees.
