Translation of "Wage demands" in German

The comparatively moderate wage demands made by the unions resulted, after arbitration, in the following increases:

The union was modest in its wage demands.

This would trigger inflation and wage demands.

This underlines the need for moderate wage demands which are consistent with productivity increases.

Despite the present economic development, the wage demands of the unions must therefore be rejected.

Here, also, the immediate cause was miserable conditions of labour, and wage demands were presented.

The report tells us that we can only rely on monetary stability, a prudent budget and logical wage demands which take account of price stability.

The key will be so-called “second-round effects” – whether growing crude prices lead to higher wage demands from trade unions.

In countries with pent-up demand for higher income and welfare, democratic fervor could lead to large budget deficits, excessive wage demands, and high inflation, ultimately resulting in severe economic crises.

But in the short term, they can exacerbate economic problems by inciting higher wage demands, fueling inflationary pressure, and boosting external-financing costs.

In the case of excessive wage increases , the danger exists that a self-sustaining spiral of higher costs , higher prices and higher wage demands may be created .

Above all , it is important that an inflation rate of over 2 % over a long period of time does not lead to higher wage demands .

While it is difficult to establish precisely the contribution of the various reform efforts, there can be little doubt that they have had some effect in reducing the NAIRU by helping to keep a lid on wage demands.

During that episode the sharp rises in oil prices and the associated surge in real wage costs in many EU countries (as workers shifted higher energy prices forward onto employers via wage demands) triggered a substitution of capital for labour, which meant that fast labour productivity growth came with massive labour shedding.

The trade unions and employers' associations, for example, have been and remain crucial to reform in the country: in its general report on the Americas (2006) the ILO singled out Brazil for having improved healthcare and job security and because the unions and businesses in that country have understood the importance of prioritising workers' integrity, which is not just about making wage demands.

The "passive" scenario shows that, if it would not be possible to achieve such progress, there is a significant risk of persistently high public deficits and the emergence of inflationary pressures feeding into wage demands which would be difficult to contain.

Also, governments in several Member States have reduced taxes on labour incomes, which will help employment creation and may contribute to moderate wage demands.

There was no surge in wage demands after it, which suggests it did not artificially contain increases.

Avoidance of adverse demonstration effects e.g., excessive wage demands in a relatively poor region triggered by higher living standards in a more productive region;

Thus, satisfying wage demands, reducing working hours, improving working conditions as a whole — pace of work, hygiene, safety — these, in our view, are some of the most important conditions for finding a fairer solution to the essential problems.
