The negotiation results for an agreement in construction that runs from 1 February 2017 to 31 March 2018 were approved by the membership of the bargaining partners. The deal leads to a pay increase, starting 1 July 2017, with 1%. Another increase of 0.75% is foreseen for 1 January 2018. Other elements are a substantial increase of the employers’ contribution to the sickness insurance and changes in the rostering systematic. Two crucial aspects are the possibility for early retirement in arduous jobs and the shift to direct labour. Partners formulated the intention to develop a flanking policy as soon as there is a breakthrough in the national pension debate. Direct labour will be promoted as an alternative for external flexibility.
