Workers at the factory in Aarschot had originally walked out on Thursday during negotiations.
The latest offer was approved by 69,6% of workers at a General Assembly on Tuesday. Workers had refused a management offer of 500 euros in bonuses, a 100 euro christmas bonus and a staff shop selling products from the parent company Procter & Gamble. They eventually settled for a 750 euro bonus paid in three installments with the other benefits included.
That is the power of workers! If they are united, they can do anything, but at the sametime workers should keep in mind that they should not be too greedy. The relationship between Management and Workers is always sensitive. Both of them work together for common benefit of the Industry. Thanks!
