Negotiators of the KOVO trade union and the bus transport association ZAD agreed on a guaranteed pay-rise of 2.5 percent in bus transport (see our January Newsletter). The agreement managed to avert the strike alert and the threat of general strike planned for future. The percentage rise amounts to €22 per employee per month on average.
