Austria: Short-time work in tourism not catching on
Article Abstract:
As a measure to avoid dismissals in the Austrian tourism business after the 11 September 2001 events, a model for short-time work, supported by the labour market service, was introduced. Effected are 300 to 500 employees with only around fifteen tourism businesses taking on the model, the demand for short-time work is lower than expected. Rudolf Kaske, president of the hotel trade union, speculates that the strict criteria for claiming short-time work is one of the reasons for the low demand. Besides, the Vienna hotel industry notes no decline in its business since 11 September, making usual use of 50% to 80% of its capacities.
