Collective Bargaining Negotiations: Agreement on New Minimum Wage for Taxi and Ride Services

From January 1, 2025, the new collective bargaining minimum wage for the approximately 22,000 drivers in the taxi and ride service will be 2,000 euros gross. This corresponds to a wage increase of about 6.4 percent or 120 euros per month, as the vida union announced on Sunday. The rolling inflation, which was the basis for the collective bargaining negotiations, amounted to 3.53 percent according to the union's information from November 2023 to October 2024.

Vida Union: Wage Increase for Taxi and Ride Services Brings Second Consecutive Real Wage and Purchasing Power Increase

"Since there are virtually no collective bargaining overpayments in the taxi and rental car industry, the percentage increase in collective bargaining wages has a direct positive effect on the income of almost all employees," said vida unionist Markus Petritsch. There is agreement "between the social partners that increases in the minimum wage must lead to tariff adjustments (for taxi, patient transport or student transport tariffs)", said the Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ).
