Germany: NGG wins employment guarantees, gains for temporary workers at Coca-Cola

17-04-2013

IUF affiliated NGG concluded a very successful collective bargaining agreement after 11 rounds of negotiations and 2 weeks of nationwide warning strikes at Coca-Cola Germany to stop job cuts. NGG secured employment by ensuring that no forced redundancies to take place for the duration of the collective agreement. One of the most important gains was winning equal pay for temporary workers after 12 months employment. Rules for the working time on weekends and shift handovers were also established ensuring more benefits go to workers for such work.
