The unions say no – the employers say yes, to the mediators’ first wage offer in the industrial negotiations. Now a sugary offer is probably waiting in a week. The mediators, the so-called Non-Partisan Chairmen (Opo), have made a first sharp wage offer in the all-important industrial negotiations, agreements which, when they are finally signed, usually become a wage benchmark for the entire labor market. Yes from the employer The proposed agreement is for two years and provides wage increases of a total of 6.5 percent, of which 3.7 percent in the first year and 2.8 percent in the second year. In addition, the minimum wages in the agreement are raised by SEK 1,300, which is taken from the total scope of 6.5 percent. The employer side says yes. But it is at the pain limit for what competitiveness can handle, says Industriarbetsgivarna’s head of negotiations Per Widolf.
