Metzger in the Mettmann district: Higher wages for more enjoyment and motivation!

Fleischer and specialist sellers in butchers in the Mettmann district can look forward to higher wages from this month. The collective bargaining between the Food Guest Gastst were (NGG) and the Fleischerverband North Rhine-Westphalia brings significant improvements for employees in the region. This positive development shows that the industry reacts to the needs of its employees.

An experienced journeyman in the butcher craft now earns 17.32 euros per hour. With full -time employment, this results in a monthly income of around 2,930 euros. Sales at the meat counter will receive 15.26 euros per hour in the future, which corresponds to a monthly earnings of around 2,580 euros. These wage increases could not only improve the financial situation of the employees, but also increase the attractiveness of the profession.

further wage increases in prospect

For the employees of the butchers in the district of Mettmann, where a total of 9 companies belong to the guild association, the current wage increase is only one step in the right direction. A further wage increase of 2.4 percent is planned in September 2024. The guild association referred to this adaptation as a "decent seasoning with wages" and saw a "motivation boost in the wallet". Such measures could help combat the shortage of skilled workers in the industry and win new talents.

The decision to increase also reflects the general development in the food trade. The shortage of skilled workers is noticeable in almost all areas, and wages have to be adjusted accordingly in order to offer people in the industry a fair remuneration. The NGG has vehemently campaigned for the interests of the employees and, with this tariff, paves the way for fair working conditions.

For the butchers, customer loyalty also plays a crucial role. Satisfied employees are often the key to satisfied customers. A well -trained staff can not only improve the quality of the products, but also build a trusting relationship with customers.
