Bavarian Confectionery Workers Secure 7.5% Wage Increase

After intense negotiations, an agreement was reached offering a phased salary rise and a one-time inflation bonus.

The wage increase will occur in two stages: a 5% rise retroactive to October 1, and an additional 2.5% on September 1, 2025.
Employees will also receive a 500 Euro inflation adjustment bonus as part of the agreement.
The deal covers a period of 22 months and affects 5,600 workers in the Bavarian confectionery industry.
The agreement followed twelve hours of negotiations and was influenced by prior summer strikes.
Both the union NGG and the employers describe the agreement as a balanced compromise, providing stability in challenging economic times.
