Security Industry: Collective Agreement Brings 3.08 Percent More Wages

Employer and employee representatives in the security industry have agreed on a new collective agreement in the third round of negotiations. According to the union vida, the social partners agreed on an average increase of 3.08 percent for the approximately 18,000 employees.

A weighting is applied: In those wage groups where there are more employees, the increases are greater.

Increases Tiered by Employment Density

According to the union, there are also improvements in the framework law: The expiration period for unpaid wages or overtime is increased from nine to twelve months. The regulation applies to security personnel without a works council.

The union expressed satisfaction with the result: "With a rolling inflation of 3 percent, this is a negotiation result that can be seen. It secures the purchasing power of our colleagues and shows that we must not cut back on security, especially in difficult times," said vida chief negotiator Gernot Kopp according to the release. Event employees, whose wages will increase by 3.4 percent according to vida, would particularly benefit.
