Two thirds of the employees of Ampacet Luxembourg rejected the latest proposal of the company’s management during a staff consultation that ended on November 4th.

The management proposed a salary increase of only 0.3%. A ridiculous and insulting proposal, especially considering that Ampacet Luxembourg has almost tripled its profits since 2019 (3.7 million euros in profits last year).

If management persists in its refusal to substantially increase wages (the wage demand is 2.5%) and to grant 3 additional days of annual leave, the OGBL will be forced to take appropriate measures, including organizing a staff consultation with a view to a company-wide strike. It should be noted that the current conciliation procedure expires on November 8.
