Civil Servant Negotiations Begin

For budgetary reasons, the federal government wants to reopen the agreement for 2026, which is already legally anchored at 0.3 percentage points above inflation for civil servants. The responsible unions have expressed their willingness to discuss this, provided that the planned zero wage round for 2027/2028 is waived.

Civil Servant Negotiations: Government Offer Could Be Presented

It is expected that during Tuesday's round, numbers will be put on the table for the first time, meaning an offer from the government, led by State Secretary Alexander Pröll (ÖVP) and Finance Minister Markus Marterbauer (SPÖ), and possibly a demand from the two present unions GÖD and younion. A conclusion during this exchange is considered unlikely. In any case, the aim is to establish a regulation that covers the salary adjustment for the next three years.
