The tripartite talks did not end in an accord on an increase in the minimum wage as of 2014 at a session of the Economic and Social Council (HSR). If the tripartite does not reach an agreement, the government will discuss a proposal from the ministry to increase the minimum wage 2.4% as of 2014. This would mean a rise from €337.70 to €349.50. Meanwhile, the trade unions suggest that the wage be increased by 8% as of 2014. Employers, for their part, oppose any increase whatsoever.
