The confederation argues that too many workers are not covered by collective agreements. Even though collective agreements can be extended, there are some sectors without any collective agreements and so this would still leave many workers without pay protection. The union wants a national minimum wage for 2011 set at CHFr 22 (Euro 15) an hour or CHFr 3,500 (Euro 2,385) a month, with the cantons (regional governments) having the right to implement higher minimum wages if they want to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Fcob\u002F364;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">German\u003C\u002Fspan>: \u003Cspan class=\"CM5Char2\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Fpresse.php\u003C\u002Fspan>;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">French: http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sgb.ch\u002Ff-presse.php\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cem>\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\"> \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cem>\u003Cspan class=\"Apple-style-span\">\u003Cspan class=\"teaserText\">This article was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
