After a long struggle, employers and employees in the trading division finally reached an agreement on a collective labor agreement on Tuesday evening in the fifth round of negotiations. For the next two years.
Retail workers will receive a 3.3 percent higher salary next year, and in 2026 that should be 0.5 percent more than moving inflation.
Renegotiations possible
However, in 2026 the increase will slow as inflation rises. If this exceeds three percent, the social partners want to meet again.
The apprentice’s salary will increase
The student salary will increase to 1,000 euros next year in the first year of the training. It took five rounds of talks to reach an agreement.
