The druck.at works council receives an award at “Vor den Vorhang 2023”

In 2021, the Employees’ and Workers’ Works Council was established at our company. This has now been recognised by the Lower Austrian Chamber of Labour and the Austrian Trade Union Federation (ÖGB) as part of the ‘Vor den Vorhang 2023’ award in the ‘Establishment of a works council’ category Award-winning. 

Over 10 years ago, the ‘Vor den Vorhang’ award was launched by the Lower Austrian Chamber of Labour and the Austrian Trade Union Federation (ÖGB) and has since been honouring works council members representing blue-collar and white-collar workers for their outstanding achievements. The award ceremony took place again this year on 9 November, and once more honoured not only works council members but also staff representatives, youth representatives and representatives for people with disabilities. Our workers’ and employees’ works council, chaired by Denise Polley and Stefan Devera, in the category ‘Establishment of a Works Council’. This award represents a significant recognition of the backbone of the company, namely our dedicated employee representatives, who champion the interests of the workforce on a daily basis. “We are absolutely delighted that the work we do every day for our colleagues is being recognised in this way by external bodies. The award not only reinforces our confidence in what we have already achieved, but also motivates us for everything that lies ahead!” said Denise Polley. Gerhard Patek, is also clearly delighted and adds: “From a managing director’s perspective, this is a fantastic achievement, and we can only be proud of the works council and our staff!”
