Vienna increases salaries: 3.5 percent more for community services!

Wien, Österreich - In Vienna there are significant changes in the salary structure. The remuneration for the state government and the state parliament members are increased, as a spokesman for the responsible city council, Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ), told the APA on Wednesday afternoon. The increase is based on legal requirements of the Court of Auditors, which prescribe a salary adjustment. A decision of the state parliament would have been necessary to deviate from the legal regulation, but the Vienna Landtag no longer met this year, which is why such a decision cannot be made, according to the city council.

At the same time, the city of Vienna is pleased that the salaries of the municipal services will also increase in the coming year. From January 2025, wages will increase by 3.5 percent, which makes up at least 82.40 euros and a maximum of EUR 437.80. This agreement was reached after negotiations with the Younion union. Czernohorszky emphasizes that the employees of the City of Vienna have to benefit from this increase because they are essential for the functioning of the city. Christian Meidlinger, chairman of Younion, was satisfied with the successful social partnership and the prevention of a zero -wage round, whereby he praised the participating colleagues for their commitment to the Demo in front of the Federal Chancellery, as on The press is mentioned.

The decision to increase the salaries of the municipal services and at the same time decide on the increase for the state government and member of the state parliament is in the context of a broader discussion about political responsibility during economic challenges. While the Vienna SPÖ is increasing, the Neos have called for a zero -wage round for the federal politicians and emphasizes that in view of the financial burdens for the population, politics should also set a sign of savings. A spokesman for the NEOS said that a clear message was necessary in the government environment: "We save ourselves", reported the Orf .
