Unions. Ramon Gorriz (CCOO) and Toni Ferrer (UGT) are leading the talks. They want to sign an agreement for several years (2010-12). They said they were ready to accept the principle of wage moderation, provided the agreement includes the possibility to get purchasing power back later. They propose a wage increase ranging between 1 and 2%, i.e. the European Central Bank’s inflation forecast for 2010. Another condition is the moderation of employers’ remunerations and reinvesting businesses’ profit into research and innovation or continuous education to improve competitiveness.
