The act (called \u003Ci>Tarifautonomiestärkungsgesetz\u003C\u002Fi>) introduces a statutory minimum hourly wage of €8.5 in 2015. Sectors with already negotiated minimum wages that are lower than €8.5 will have 2 years to adapt to the new minimum. After 2 years, a joint committee with representatives from the State, employers’ organisations and trade unions will meet regularly (every 2 years) to reassess the minimum wage level. The act enables the social partners in a sector to impose more easily a collective agreement to all enterprises in a sector as the act makes an end to a (50% of workers in the sector) representation limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002F2014\u002F07\u002F03\u002Fgermany-minimumwage-approval-idUSL6N0PE2ZM20140703\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002F2014\u002F07\u002F03\u002Fgermany-minimumwage-approval\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>German: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sueddeutsche.de\u002Fwirtschaft\u002Fmindestlohn-eine-historische-reform-1.2027396\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sueddeutsche.de\u002Fwirtschaft\u002Fmindestlohn-eine-historische-reform ... \u003C\u002Fa> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cb>\u003Ci>Focus\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fb> on the new act (in German): \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sozialpolitik-aktuell.de\u002Fkontrovers-das-aktuelle-thema-mindestlohn.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.sozialpolitik-aktuell.de\u002Fkontrovers ... \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>.
