It is about 23 collective agreements for around 250,000 employees from 35 industries. The carpenters and wood designers make the start. “The initial situation is more challenging than it has been for decades,” said the Bau-Holz (GBH) trade union yesterday. The companies are doing well. “The past few years were record years for the economy. Investments in companies are at a record level,” says GBH. The union does not want to commit itself to a specific percentage, it should be “between the percentages of the autumn wage round and the volume percentage of a Sauvignon Blanc”. That would be between eight and 12.5 percent. Negotiations are between the social partners, yesterday there was no statement from the Chamber of Commerce.
