Automotive supplier: ZF ends dispute over special payments

The management and works council of ZF at its headquarters in Friedrichshafen have reached a compromise on a dispute over special payments above the collective bargaining agreement. The extra allowance currently accounts for 7-13% of monthly income, but most of it will now be paid based on performance. The compromise must be approved by 8,000 affected employees in Friedrichshafen on October 23.

If approved, ZF's plan to abolish the "Zeppelin allowance" would be dropped, following months of negotiations and resistance from employees.
