NTT's labor union decided to demand a 5% wage increase, the highest level ever, for all employees, including non-regular employees, as part of the base increase. NTT's labor union, which has over 140,000 members who work in full-time and non-regular employment, held a central committee meeting in Tokyo on the 14th and decided on the policy for this year's spring labor demands.
According to the report, as prices continue to rise, we will demand a 5% raise in basic wages for all employees working at group companies, as a sustainable wage increase is necessary.
According to the union, last year's spring labor movement called for a 2% wage increase, but the demand for a 5% wage increase is the highest ever.
After the 15th, we will submit a written request to management, and negotiations will begin in earnest towards mid-March.
In the telecommunications industry, major mobile phone company SoftBank is targeting an average wage increase of 5.5% for its approximately 20,000 full-time employees, including base increases and regular salary increases.
This year's spring labor union is focused on whether the industry can maintain the momentum of last year, which saw the highest wage increase rate in 30 years, and attention will be focused on how much wage increases will be realized in the telecommunications industry as well.
