Tough wage negotiations
Retailers are on the brakes when it comes to salaries
The collective bargaining negotiations for around 430,000 employees and apprentices in the retail sector start on Wednesday next week. Last year, after tough negotiations, employers and the union agreed for the first time on a salary increase that was below inflation. This year, the signs are even worse.
The fall wage round for the largest sector in terms of employees, retail, begins on October 23. The social partners will haggle over the percentage increase in salaries and apprentices' wages from January 1, 2025. The starting position is extremely difficult, as many companies are doing badly. Rainer Trefelik, industry spokesman and chief negotiator for employers, explains in an interview with the "Krone" newspaper why retailers need to put the brakes on costs when it comes to salaries. He also reveals the level of inflation that forms the basis for the collective bargaining negotiations.
