電機労組、ベア７０００円要求　物価高に見合う賃上げ焦点

　２０２３年春闘で、日立製作所など電機大手の労働組合が１６日、賃金改善などを求める要求書を経営側に提出した。各労組は従業員の基本給を底上げするベースアップ（ベア）について、前年の２倍を上回る月額７０００円を求めた。原材料費高騰や円安を背景に生活必需品が値上がりしており、３月１５日の集中回答日に向け、経営側が物価上昇に見合う賃上げに応じるかが焦点だ。（2023/02/16-18:17）

Major Japanese electronics makers' labor unions sought a monthly pay scale hike of 7,000 yen Thursday, more than double their 2022 request, in the ongoing "shunto" annual wage negotiations.
   The focus is whether the management will raise wages in accordance with price increases for daily necessities that reflect high materials prices and a weaker yen. Many employers will give their responses March 15.
   On Thursday, Miyuki Hanzawa, central executive committee head of Hitachi Ltd.'s union, submitted a wage hike request to Executive Officer Kenichi Tanaka.
   Ahead of this, Tanaka told reporters that Hitachi will consider raising salaries in light of the recent inflation and its wage hikes in the past years.
   "We'll engage in negotiations from a medium- to long-term perspective in a comprehensive way, rather than mechanically reflecting price increases in a single fiscal year," he also said.
