The trade union Kommunal, representing around blue-collar workers in local and regional government, has negotiated a new one-year agreement covering around 350,000 workers that runs to 31 March 2013. The agreement includes a pay increase of around 3% (€73). The lowest paid workers will get the same nominal amount of €73 (a pay increase of 4.0% for them). Other allowances increase by 2.6% and fixed-term employment will be limited.
