Position of Hydraulic Engineer in higher wages group 
The company will not meet our demands for a higher salary group for this position. The company believes that changing the salary group for positions already set in the Collective Agreement belongs as part of the Central Wages Settlement.

If we are not successful in the Position Committee, we will forward the case to the Main Wages Settlement, which is postponed to week 39 due to the corona crisis this year.
