€1700 is next minimum wage target

Austria

With very high levels of collective bargaining coverage, trade unions in Austria have been able to negotiate improved minimum wages without needing any legal minimum wage. In recent years unions have been campaigning to increase minimum wages with a target of €1500 a month. This was achieved in the retail sector earlier this year and now unions like the GPA-djp services union are looking at the next step in the campaign - a target of at least €1700 for minimum wages in all collective agreements.

Unions target €1000 minimum wage

Spain

The UGT confederation has launched a campaign for a minimum wage of €1000 a month. This target was discussed earlier this year with the CCOO confederation and the PSOE socialist party. The UGT has set the target for negotiations in collective agreements and also to achieve for the national minimum wage by 2020. The confederation argues that the figure is entirely justified with 3.5% economic growth and businesses now seeing profits and dividends at pre-crisis levels. At the same time average salaries are more than 5% below their 2009 level in real terms.
