Collective bargaining trade workers 2025

KV Handelsarbeiter:innen 2025
Gewerkschaft vida

Retail workers keep our supply running!

Mostly in shifts, in the cold, dust and under time pressure. They lift, sort, drive, scan – and bear enormous responsibility for ensuring that everything arrives on time. Nevertheless, their services are hardly noticed by the public – and paid too poorly.

We are exhausted, understaffed and overworked!

We, the retail workers in Austria, make sure that the shelves in the shops are filled every day. We pick and deliver the goods day and night, thus guaranteeing security of supply in Austria.

Therefore, with this signature in the KV Autumn Round, we demand:

  • Wage increase
  • Additional day of vacation per year
  • Sunday work allowance
  • Night work allowance
