The German steel industry and the IG Metall union last night agreed to a 5.2 pct wage increase effective March 1 and valid for 13 months for 85,000 steel workers in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Lower Saxony.
Workers this month will also get a 200 eur one-time payment.
The agreement is considered a guideline for pending wage agreements in other parts of Germany.
The next round of talks for East German steel workers is scheduled for tomorrow
