Union IG Bau stated that construction workers in West Germany will get a pay hike this year of 5.7 % while wages in East Germany will jump by 6.6 %. Both steps are backdated to 1 May and will last for 26 months. The agreement also includes one-off payments for workers in West Germany of 250 euro in November 2018, 600 euro in June 2019 and a further 250 euro in November 2019. Workers in the East will get a one-off payment of 250 euro in November 2019.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.reuters.com\u002Farticle\u002Fus-germany-wages\u002Fgerman-construction-workers-seal-inflation-busting-wage-deal-idUSKCN1ID0BJ\">in German …\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers or Sanne van der Gaag, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
