No agreement was reached again during the fourth round of negotiations on April 7. After employees in the industry had already held a rally in the run-up to the negotiations, the employers finally made an offer for the first time. Salaries are to be increased by 2.3 percent, plus a fixed amount of 20 euros. In addition, a one-time payment of 250 euros was offered.

The GPA union considers this insufficient and believes it in no way reflects the economic development of the industry. We demand a significantly improved offer in the next round of negotiations on April 15!

The fact that an offer has finally been made is thanks to the efforts of all our colleagues, who sent a strong signal for a fair collective bargaining agreement at our rally:

On April 7, hundreds of employees gathered in front of the Banking Association to show that they are ready to fight for their collective bargaining agreement! We will continue to do so until a fair offer is finally on the table!
