These agreements are periodically updatedfollowing negotiations between the plant employee committees and the management.

Some 76% of the workers in the organization are represented by labor unionsand and have special collective agreements which are renewed every two or three years. The terms of employment for the rest of the employees are determined through personal employment contracts.
