BudAir strikes deal with employees, averts strike

Portfolio
Budapest Airport has struck a deal with its employees on an annual pay rise of 17%, averting the looming strike that was feared to cripple traffic at Ferihegy Airport.
The gross average wage of an employee at Budapest Airport was HUF 241,660 in July. The company increased wages for employees by 12% year on year in 2002, 11.46% in 2003 and 13.8% last year.

The agreement on the 17% annual pay rise means that employees will have their salary increased by 10% with retroactive effect to 1 July, as they have already been given a hike of 6.62%.

BudAir said that on top of the wage increase, they next year they would also grant workers HUF 417,000 in tax-free benefits, mostly for holidays (HUF 57,000) and meals (HUF 30,000).
