Union representatives at Volkswagen-owned Skoda Auto <VOWG_p.DE>
said on Friday they had accepted management’s offer to raise wages by
12 percent, averting a strike at one of the largest manufacturing plants
in the Czech Republic.
The leadership of the Kovo union, which represents industrial workers, plans to vote on the proposal next Wednesday, which would cover the period from April 1, 2018 to the end of March 2019, although that is seen as a formality. The offer also includes increases in bonuses and incentives.
Czech wages have been rising rapidly across sectors, putting pressure on employers, following strong economic growth in recent years and a fall in unemployment to its lowest level in two decades.
