Results of the AK election at WU

AK

The Chamber of Labour (Arbeiterkammer – AK) election ended last week. Fortunately, quite a few WU employees exercised their right to vote on the last day of the election. Overall, the voter turnout at WU without voting cards was just under 38%. This is slightly lower than the turnout at the last AK election in 2019, when the turnout was 43.8%. The votes cast have now been counted, including the postal votes that were received on time. Without postal vote, the largest group at WU is the "Liste Anderl - Team FSG" (Fraktion Sozialdemokratischer GewerkschafterInnen) with 45.2% of the vote, followed by the list "Gemeinsam - Alternative, Unabhängige und Grüne Gewerkschafter:innen" (AUGE/UG) with 17.2%. They are followed by the "Grüne Arbeitnehmer in der AK" with 8.3% and the "Christliche Gewerkschafter und Gewerkschafterinnen" (FCG - ÖAAB) with 7.5%. In 5th place with 5% is the "LINKS Wien" list, closely followed by the "NEOS LiA" list in 6th place with 4.8%. The FSG thus gained 6.1 percentage points at the WU compared to 2019. The list AUGE/UG, however, collapsed by 22.8 percentage points.


The final election results for the AK Vienna election are also already available. At 40.2%, voter turnout this year was slightly lower than the 42.3% recorded in the last election in 2019. In Vienna, "Liste Anderl - Team FSG" (FSG) was once again ahead with 57.2%. Compared to the 2019 election, the FSG lost 3.5% percentage points. The "Freiheitliche Arbeitnehmer - FPÖ" (FA-FPÖ) followed far behind with 8.3%, a drop of 0.7% compared to 2019. They overtook the "FCG-ÖAAB Wien" with 6.8%, which corresponds to a drop of 3.0 percentage points. They were followed by "Gemeinsam - Alternative, Unabhängige und Grüne Gewerkschafter:innen” (AUGE/UG) with 5.1% and "Grüne Arbeitnehmer in der AK Wien" with 5.2%. Smaller left-wing lists made slight gains, with a NEOS-affiliated list running for the first time and also being represented in the plenary assembly of the Vienna Chamber of Labour with a result of 2.7%. Overall, the shifts in the balance of power in the "parliament" of AK Vienna are therefore very limited. The details of the result can be found in detail at https://wien.arbeiterkammer.at/ueberuns/wahl/wahlergebnisse/index.html.


We would like to thank all WU employees who used their right to vote and thus set an example for a strong representation of interests!
