Workers at automobile club ACL went on strike after 2 years of collective agreement negotiations failed. ACL, which offers a broad range of services to car owners, and trade unions met with an arbitrator in an attempt to unlock the sluggish negotiations, but did not reach an agreement and workers went on strike. Trade unions LCGB and OBGL asked for a 1% wage increase per year, which ACL management rejected. The new agreement will be valid retroactively from 1 January 2013, until the end of 2015. The agreement foresees a one-off bonus of 400 euros paid to workers on New Year's Day 2015. Employees covered by the agreement will also get a 1% pay rise on 1 January 2015.
