Negotiations on new collective labor agreement for research institutions started
Last 5 June, negotiations started on a new collective agreement for research institutions. The current collective labor agreement expires on 1 July 2024.
The negotiations started with the exchange and explanation of the so-called Letter of Intent from employee organisations and the Memorandum of Intent from employers. These initial consultations took place in a good atmosphere. Three meetings are scheduled in the month of June where the parties' aim is to reach an agreement on the new collective labor agreement by 1 July 2024. Once that agreement is in place, it must then still be submitted to the members of the workers' organisations and the boards of employers for approval. The final agreement is expected later in July 2024.
