New collective bargaining agreement at Dupont de Nemours includes wage improvements

The OGBL and the LCGB have reached an agreement with the management of Dupont de Nemours on a new collective agreement for the Luxembourg site, valid for three years from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025.

The new agreement for the approximately 840 employees includes the following measures

One-time bonuses:

  • Payment of a one-time bonus of €500 to each employee subject to the role design principle in March 2023 (already paid);
  • Payment of a one-time bonus of €750 to each employee subject to role design and single role in March 2024;
  • Payment of a one-time bonus of €750 to each employee subject to role design and single role in March 2025.

Subject to legal requirements, the payment will be made in the form of a participatory bonus, which means that 50% of the bonus will be tax exempt in accordance with article 115 number 13a of the Income Tax Law (loi concernant l’impôt sur le revenu – L.I.R.).

Average merit increases:

Agreement on an average annual “merit” increase of 1.2% for employees subject to the Single Role Principle for the years 2023 (already implemented), 2024 and 2025. The adjustment will be made in March of each year.

Vacation allowance increase:

Vacation allowance will be adjusted as follows and paid in May of each year:

The normal holidays of Lundi gras, Lundi de la Braderie in Luxembourg-City and the 4 hours of All Saints’ Day, which currently still exist for shift workers, will be converted and compensated by 4 additional days off.
