Adjustment from November

Fixed pay increases: this is how much more metalworkers will get

The "Krone" now has the figures for the wage increase for metalworkers, which will apply from November. This is because the fall wage round will not take place this year, as a two-year agreement was reached last year after tough negotiations. We show how much more the almost 200,000 employees will now receive.

According to trade unionist Reinhold Binder, last year was "the toughest labor dispute in 60 years". In the end, employers and employees agreed on an average increase of 8.6 percent. The agreement was therefore below the underlying inflation rate of 9.6 percent. This year is different. As a result of the agreement, incomes will rise sharply from November 1, 2024 - even though the industry is in a difficult situation.
