On Saturday there is a traffic jam at Europark as commercial employees walk up and down the access road to demand more pay.
That hurts: For the first time, a rally by retail employees is really hindering customers in Salzburg. Starting at 10 a.m., they will march up and down Peter-Pfenninger-Straße directly in front of Europark for about an hour. The entrance and exit are therefore blocked in one direction of travel. In the shopping center itself, salespeople from three branches of large retail chains are also on strike. Strike also in Pinzgau A rally by retail employees is also planned in Zell am See at the same time. The demo train will impede traffic to the retail parks there on the Schüttdorf accompanying road. Why do the sales employees use such harsh bandages on a shopping Saturday before Christmas? “They no longer understand the blockage in the salary negotiations,” says the GPA union. Works councils hear: “We toil during Advent and the employers don’t even want to compensate us for inflation?” On Thursday, the salary negotiations broke down again. The employers offer 8 percent, the union demands 9.4 percent.
