Unions agree to improved pay offer

Austria

Following their major demonstration in Vienna last month, public sector unions have accepted a higher pay offer from the employers. The unions were initially offered a 1% pay increase plus 0.5% lump sum. The final deal includes pay rises ranging from 1.55% for the higher paid to 2.53% for the lower paid and 2.02% on allowances. This covers the period 1.3.14 to 28.2.15. Pay will be then be increased by inflation plus 0.1% from 1.3.2015 to cover the period up to 31.12.2015. Municipal employees get a slightly different arrangement with a 2.3% increase in 2014 for all salaries up to €2700, a minimum increase of €62.10 and 2.3% on allowances.

Childcare employers fail to improve pay offer

Netherlands

After four rounds of negotiations, employers in the childcare sector have failed to improve the pay increase offered at the beginning of November – a 10.15% increase over two years. The FNV trade union argues that this is insufficient to protect against inflation and deliver the level of pay that would help address staff shortages. The union claim is for a 12.9% increase over 12 months. At the beginning of November, the unions launched a petition, now signed over 15,000 times, to make it clear to employers that a decent wage increase is desperately needed to keep the sector attractive to work
