SRG and the union Schweizer Syndikat Medienschaffender (SSM) have apparently reached an agreement in the negotiations on wage increases: For 2008, SRG will grant its employees with a collective labor agreement a general, inflation-oriented wage increase of 1.1 percent. This will be supplemented by an average of 0.8 percent for individual wage adjustments. The result of the negotiations takes into account the "difficult financial conditions of the company and the concerns of the staff in equal measure", according to a statement from SRG. With the increase of 1.9 percent, the negotiation result is in line with the average for the media industry. Compensating for inflation and maintaining purchasing power are important concerns for SRG.
In addition, 0.7 percent of the payroll is available as a variable benefit component, which can be used individually for one-off, uninsured premiums. In addition, child allowances will be increased by around 4 percent. The result of the negotiations for CLA staff will be implemented as of January 1, 2008, but still has to be definitively approved by the SRG Board of Directors.
