October 24 will be the start of the renegotiation process for the collective agreements in the trade industry, which employs 570,000 people - the biggest collective negotiations in Austria. Bettina Lorentschitsch, in charge of bargaining for employers, already showed her hand: she wants working time on Saturday to be more flexible and the possibility of paying for days off that were not taken. The GPA-djp union won't even listen and is waiting to hear employers' pay offer. Besides, an entrepreneur is trying, after failing at the Federal Constitutional Court, to extend Sunday opening hours via a referendum on the "Opening Hours Act." (Ref. 120585)
