Despite the negotiations taking place during extremely challenging times, particularly for municipalities, we remain hopeful of a fruitful and speedy outcome. We remain optimistic about the progress the negotiations have made so far and the positive spirit the unions have displayed.
Wage and salary increases
SALGA's offer of 4,4% is for year one (2015/2016) and is linked to inflation. For years two and three, SALGA has offered an inflation-related increase, plus an additional 0,25. SALGA has made this offer by being mindful of the impact that additional annual notch increases have on the salary budgets of municipalities.
