Carlsberg Brewery Workers in Germany to Receive Wage Increase Following Resolution of Dispute
A wage dispute between the Nahrung-Genuss-Gaststätten (NGG) and the Society of North German Breweries has been resolved, resulting in a wage increase for approximately 600 employees at Carlsberg operations in Hamburg, Lübz, and Flensburger brewery.
The collective bargaining agreement, which applies to breweries in Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and Schleswig-Holstein, will last for 21 months and include brands like Holsten, which is part of Carlsberg. The agreement will be implemented in two steps.
The first wage increase of 2.3% will take effect in August, with a second increase of 2.7% scheduled for June next year. This means that the total wage increase will be more than 5%.
Employer representative Michael Scherer estimates the number of affected employees to be 740, while NGG regional chairman Finn Petersen confirmed the number to be around 600.
It's important to note that other breweries in the north were not part of the negotiations.

For comprehensive and current details on this specific labor agreement or wage increase, it is recommended to consult official announcements from NGG, Carlsberg’s corporate communications, or recent German labor news sources focused on the brewing industry.
