Public Workers In Hungary Demand Minimum Wage
Köfüsz, the first union representing employees of public works schemes, will file its request for registration this week, newly elected president Tibor Mózes said on the weekend. The union, founded in Hajdú-Bihar county on Friday, will fight to raise the monthly wage from the present Ft 47,500 to the minimum wage level of Ft 93,000, as well as for jobs that make sense and have a humane character, Mózes said.

Minimum workplace safety requirements should also apply to public works, he underlined.

The new union has also applied for membership of the Liga union alliance.
