Public services union Ver.di has negotiated a new collective agreement covering 2.3 million workers in municipal and federal government, with specific measures benefiting employees in health and social care. The agreement came after the third round of intensive negotiations, with the employers pushing for a long- term deal (up to 2023) and annual pay increases of only 1%. In the end, Ver.di was able to secure what it describes as a respectable deal that delivers a 1.4% pay rise for all workers on 1 April 2021 with a further 1.8% increase in April 2022. The agreement runs until 21 December 2022.
