Notes [edit]

  1. ^ Minimum wages for the majority of workers are set in collective bargaining agreements. However, a proportion of the workforce is not covered by these agreements or the agreed minimum wage is perceived as low. Therefore the German Trade Union, the Socialist and the Green Party press for the introduction of a 8.50 € hourly minimum wage.
