The minimum wage has been a hotly debate issue since trade unions started calling for an increase, that the then right wing government vehemently opposed. The new caretaker government that came into power just before the summer said maintaining purchasing power of the lowest paid workers was a priority and increased the minimum wage as one of its first actions in office. Roughly 3% of Czech workers earn the minimum wage and will see their wages increase due to the change. The minimum wage was raised in 2007 for the last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002F2013\u002F08\u002Farticles\u002Fcz1308019i.htm\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.eurofound.europa.eu\u002Feiro\u002F2013\u002F08\u002Farticles\u002Fcz1308019i.htm\u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
