The Estonian Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) announced that it would make employers a proposal to set the minimum wage next year at 320 euros a month or 1.90 euros an hour. The trade union wants to conclude a collective labour agreement with the Estonian Employers' Confederation (EEC). An increase of the minimum wage should also reduce the amount of unreported wages that forms nearly 10% in Estonia.
