Resolution found for the collective labour agreement of forest workers
To offset cost increases, the parties to the agreement have agreed on the implementation of productivity-boosting measures, such as a modernisation of the remuneration system and the possibility of new arrangements with regard to annual leave. The possibility of adopting a working-time bank scheme will also be examined during the contract period.
The generally-binding collective labour agreement applies to about 3,000 employees in total, most of whom work in forestry.
