Honda and Mazda responded in full to the labor union on the 21st due to this year's spring labor union, making it the fastest response among major automakers. Both companies plan to raise wages at a high level, and the focus will be on whether this movement will spread further.
Honda's labor union demanded a monthly wage increase of 20,000 yen, the highest level in 32 years, including base increases and regular wage increases. Mazda's union requested 7.1 months' worth of monthly salary, which is the highest standard.
