The agreement includes wage increases of about 2.6% from April 2026 and further scheduled increases from January 2027, with an embedded inflation protection corridor to share cost pressures. The unions had previously called off nationwide strikes planned for late January after intensifying pressure with warning strikes in December 2025.
