Collective bargaining started in the Austrian trade on Wednesday, October 19th for 520,000 employees (280,000 for retail trade alone). The renegotiation of the biggest collective agreement in the country is arriving the day after the metal social partners agreed on a 4.2% increase. This 'coincidence' is well-timed for the union of private sector employees, GPA-dip, which is calling for a "sharp increase in real wages" as well as measures designed to reduce the gender pay gap - women account for 75% of employees in the sector.
