Long after it expired (the end of 2012) the collective bargaining partners in construction renewed the sectoral collective agreement that covers approximately 800,000 workers.

Long after it expired (the end of 2012) the collective bargaining partners in construction renewed the sectoral collective agreement that covers approximately 800,000 workers. In addition to a wage increase that starts at €40 for the basic level, it provides for a reform of the sector’s paritarian organisations. The pay rise is implemented in two stages, first €15 in July 2014 and later €25 in July 2015. From January 2015 on, employers have to pay a monthly €8 contribution per worker to a supplementary contingency fund. In December 2013 the joint trade unions had organised a strike to put more pressure on the employer’s side.
