In the third round of negotiations the union and the employer agreed on significant wage and salary increases for the approximately 14,000 employees. Shift and alternating shift allowances will also be raised to the level of the collective agreement for the federal public sector. Salaries will increase in three stages. Salaries will increase by 3.4%, but by at least € 150, on 1 May 2026. A second increase of 2.4% percent, but by at least € 120, will follow on 1 January 2027. On 1 January 2028, employees will receive a third increase of 2%, but at least € 90. Since the minimum amounts have a greater percentage impact in the lower wage brackets, the total increase amounts to 8.74%.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fd85j82c4.r.eu-central-1.awstrack.me\u002FL0\u002Fhttps:%2F%2Fcrm.etui.org%2Fcivicrm%2Fmailing%2Furl%3Fu=90622%26qid=4970851\u002F1\u002F0107019cd7a9b489-3b533cd0-6a8a-4f62-8d23-9f8b53ef2ccb-000000\u002Fp5_LoUq_wKU1fxrLgLsVixTdfDk=249\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">in German…\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal mkoksal@etui.org.
