Austria -Pay deal brings civil servants 1.9% increase -January 20, 2014

Civil servants trade unions have succeeded in securing a pay rise. The new coalition government agreed on an increase to their wages of 1.9% in 2014 and a further pay rise of 0.1 percentage points above inflation in 2015. The move comes after protests held in December by civil servants, students and teachers over spending cuts proposed by the coalition.
