The glass industry will conclude on May 20 (7,000 employees). The starting point is an expected rolling inflation rate of 2.8 percent. Statistics Austria publishes the consumer price index for February on March 19.
The PRO-GE and GPA trade unions issued a clear rejection of zero wage rounds on Friday. "Zero wage rounds will not save the economy. On the contrary, a functioning economy needs people who have enough money to buy products and consume services," said chief negotiators Reinhold Binder (PRO-GE) and Karl Dürtscher (GPA) in a press release.
No negotiations in the textile industry
There will be no negotiations this year for the approximately 7500 employees in the textile industry. The increase for 2025 was already agreed in this sector last year. The collectively agreed minimum wages and actual wages will be increased by 0.3 percent on April 1. The new minimum basic salary will be raised to more than 2,000 euros.
An agreement has already been reached for bus drivers, among others. Five rounds of negotiations were necessary here. The 12,000 employees will receive a real wage increase of 3.6 percent with retroactive effect from January 1.
