The Pop & Jazz Conservatory Foundation will start negotiating changes in accordance with the Co-operation Act at the beginning of March. The change negotiations concern both levels of education and all staff of the institution.
The reason for the change negotiations is the deteriorating financial situation of the Pop & Jazz Conservatory. The institution’s state subsidies have decreased, while rent, VAT and other costs have increased. Rising general costs have also led to increased expenditure.
The aim of the negotiations is to find solutions to stabilise the economic situation. Negotiations may lead to the dismissal, lay-off, part-time work or unilateral modification of an essential term of an employment contract of one or more employees on economic or production grounds. Negotiations also look for savings in non-staff costs and consider where the institution could generate additional income.
