The new two-year agreements covering municipal workers include a 0.8% pay increase from 15 February for certain groups of workers such as those in catering, cleaning, social care and childcare, and then 0.7% to be allocated at local level by 1 September. The minimum pay for trainees rises from 1 February by about 9% to Euro 1,450 per month. The unions involved had wanted to make some progress on parental leave and to place limits on the use of fixed-term workers but these were not part of the agreement. The basic deal has still to be approved by union members.
