Warehouse and logistics workers keep our supply chains running!

Mostly working day and night, in the cold, in dusty environments, and under time pressure. They lift, sort, drive, scan – and carry enormous responsibility to ensure that everything arrives on time. Yet their work is barely recognized by the public – and far too poorly paid.

We are exhausted, understaffed, and overworked!

We, the warehouse and logistics workers in Austria, make sure every day that store shelves stay filled. We pick and deliver goods around the clock, ensuring Austria's supply security.

That's why we demand in this year's collective bargaining round:

  • Wage increase
  • An additional vacation day per year
  • Sunday work allowance
  • Night shift allowance

Every day we take responsibility for supplying thousands of people. Together, we're fighting with all our strength for our demands – and we won't give up!

We call on our employers to deliver real improvements – because working time is lifetime!
