Hammer bakery employees get pay increase
“A bakery salesperson who works full-time at the counter selling everything from bread to cakes and often bakes rolls herself will now go home with between 2,413 and 2,735 euros a month – that’s up to 174 euros more than before. And a baker’s apprentice will have an average of 132 euros more in their wallet at the end of the month,” says Isabell Mura from the NGG Südwestfalen. In addition, bakery employees will receive an inflation compensation bonus of 90 euros retroactively for June and July.
Further wage increase for bakery workers due to inflation
In addition, bakery employees will receive a retroactive inflation compensation bonus of 90 euros for June and July. “In May next year, wages in bakeries will rise by another 70 euros for all employees,” said NGG managing director Mura. The bakers’ guild has thus “made jobs in the bakeries in Hamm a good deal more attractive and given the image of the baking trade a major boost,” said the NGG South Westphalia.
Good news also for florists in Hamm
There is also more money in the florist industry. Anyone who works as a “flower professional” in Hamm now earns 14.66 euros an hour. That is 118 euros more at the end of the month than before. The money is even being paid retroactively from July. And in the summer of next year, the hourly wage in floristry will rise again – to 15.36 euros. The bottom line is that employees in the floristry industry will receive a wage increase of almost 10 percent this year and next year, according to IG BAU. Apprentices in flower shops also have significantly more money in their wallets: According to the union, anyone who learns the floristry trade in a flower shop will receive 50 euros more per month this year and next year. Wages in the catering and hotel sectors in Hamm are also rising.
