News memo
The Special Negotiating Body (SNB) of the Stark Group held its constituent meeting on 2 and 3 September 2020 in Copenhagen. With 10,000 employees, it is one of the largest building materials merchants in Scandinavia and is owned by a US financial investor. The meeting took place in a hotel as a face-to-face meeting despite the Coronavirus pandemic. The central management did not want to risk running over the six-month deadline for convening the SNB, as this would have resulted in a "default EWC". The EWC Academy, together with the HK white collar employees' union from Denmark, were responsible for advising the SNB. The German delegation had already begun preparing a draft agreement in June 2020 (see report in EWC News 2/2020).
