Commitment to Our People
Wabtec's employees are a core strength of our global operations. One of our core values is People First, and we continuously support our valuable workforce by engaging with them in a responsible and fair manner. We value the range of backgrounds, expertise, and experiences our employees bring to our organization. Throughout our organization, our employees stand behind our sustainability goals and provide meaningful contributions to ensure our progress toward them.
Wabtec is committed to complying with laws pertaining to freedom of association, privacy and collective bargaining. Where we have unions, works councils and other types of employee representation, we are dedicated to maintaining constructive labor-management relationships. We engage in collective bargaining, information sharing, and consultation in good faith, while adhering to all applicable labor-management regulations and standards across jurisdictions.
At the same time, we extend the same respect and fair treatment to our non-represented employees.
