In Germany, an agreement was reached on wage increases for port workers
Satisfaction of the union ver.di. Less satisfactory outcome for ZDS
August 26, 2022
Less enthusiastic was the comment of the ZDS chief negotiator: "We welcome - said Ulrike Riedel - that the our offer has been recommended for acceptance by of the Federal Tariff Commission. With a joint effort from part of the employers, we managed to find a compromise with the help of new tools. However - said Riedel - this negotiating result represents a very significant burden for port operators, with effects on performance and competitiveness of our sector».
The agreement for the renewal of the collective labour agreement provides that, with retroactive effect from the first of July last, the wages of workers employed in the trafficking of containers increase by +9.4%, while for the workers of the others business segments the increase will be +7.9%. In addition, from the first of June 2023 both categories will benefit from a further salary increase of +4.4%. In case of excessive increase in inflation, a clause will come into force once to compensate for a growth in the price of goods up to +5.5%. The new contract will expire on May 31, 2024, but the parties will be obliged in the meantime to restart negotiations in the event of a greater increase in inflation.
