The social partnership between the tobacco industry and trade unions dates back to the 19th century. The origin of today’s Food, Beverages and Catering Union (NGG) is the General German Cigar Workers’ Association, founded in Leipzig in 1865.
More than 75 years ago, the Employers’ Association of the Cigarette Industry was founded in post-war West Germany. It was succeeded by the German Employers’ Association for Nicotine & Innovation e.V.
The NGG and the German Employers’ Association for Nicotine & Innovation e.V. maintain regular dialogue as social partners.
This well-founded social partnership is based not only on contractual agreements, such as our collective bargaining agreement (MTV) or wage agreements (ETV) but also on regular, joint dialogues on current and future issues.
This applies to co-determination between works councils and management within companies as well as to the two parties of the collective bargaining agreement.
Naturally, they do not always agree, but they are always fair.
As parties of collective bargaining agreements, we jointly focus on the issues of social partnership and regulation – regulation and its potential impact on employment and jobs in Germany is the central focus.
