The position is a "co-opted" Vice President in the WKW Presidium, which only has an advisory voice but still receives a monthly functional allowance of 5,000 to 7,000 euros. According to UNOS, what can be achieved in this role is not in reasonable proportion to the compensation received, which is why they are now returning the position.

NEOS See Waiving of Vice President Position as Contribution to Reform Debate

The occasion is the start of informal talks between the factions about a reform of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ), it was stated upon APA request. UNOS federal spokesperson Michael Bernhard called in a broadcast for all other factions to also waive co-opted vice presidents. According to their own statements, UNOS themselves do not hold any other paid vice president positions. They see this step as a contribution to the reform debate and do not fear losing influence in the reform group as a result. As already stated to the "Kurier," it was also said upon APA request that the step has nothing to do with the turbulence surrounding WKW President Walter Ruck.
