- Economic Chamber employees will get a 4.2% salary increase in 2025, while many sectors receive raises below inflation.
- The Chamber bases raises on last year’s collective agreements, which ranged from 5.4% to 9.2%.
- Wage increases in other industries like metalworking and railways remain well below inflation, highlighting the Chamber’s exception.
- This pay raise occurs amid ongoing economic difficulties, low growth, and a rise in company insolvencies.
