A FEW WORDS ABOUT

WHAT IS EMPLOYEES UNION?

The Employees Union is an organization of Employees, founded and appointed by Employees to represent and defend their rights as well as professional and social interests. In other words, we, your colleagues, will represent our common interests. It is not by chance that the word “Employer” is used here – the Employees Union is independent in its activities from the Employer, state administration, local government and other organizations. More than that, the Employees Union is a self-governing organization, which means that as members we have a real influence on its activities. Bayer Employees Union ensures confidentiality and has covert members. The employer, your supervisor and other members of the union will not find out about your joining the Employees Union.
A FEW WORDS ABOUT US

WHO ARE WE? – BAYER EMPLOYEES UNION

HELP US!
LET'S CHANGE THE WORK ENVIRONMENT TOGETHER!

Together we will be stronger. We represent all Employees, but our strength depends on the number of Members. High union density gives us a stronger bargaining chip to negotiate better working conditions, rights and remuneration for all Employees. Imagine what the situation looks like when we make postulates to the Employer by associating 100 out of 1000 Employees.

Now think about the fact that we make postulates to the Employer by associating 900 out of 1000 Employees. Can you see the difference?

YOUR BENEFITS AND YOUR RIGHTS

THE EMPLOYER WILL RESPECT YOUR VOICE

Yes, the law requires the Employer to negotiate in good faith with Union representatives. We, in turn, ask for Your opinion and respect Your voice.

A STRONG TRADE UNION MEANS BETTER RIGHTS

We belong to the Confederation of Labor OPZZ, which consults the new law regulations on labor and Employees at the Ministry of Labor.

YOUR WORKPLACE WILL BE SAFER

The employer is obliged to consult with the Employees Union the termination of the contract of an Employee employed under a contract for an indefinite period.

YOU MAY NOT BEAR ANY CONSEQUENCES

The Act on Trade Unions explicitly prohibits unequal treatment of Employees on the grounds of belonging to a Trade Union or remaining outside of it. This means that the Employer cannot discriminate against You in any way, even if he/she found out about your Trade (Employees) Union membership.

SAVINGS IN A COMPANY DOESN'T START WITH EMPLOYEES

The intention to terminate working conditions or pay for less favorable conditions and collective redundancies must also be consulted with the Employees Union, which gives us the opportunity to intervene and negotiate with the Employer.

WE WILL INTERVEN IF YOU FEEL HARMED

If You are a member of our organization, we can also, at Your request, represent You directly when your rights are violated or help you negotiate better working conditions.
