鉄鋼大手、ベア月３万円要求　他業種との格差是正へ

　鉄鋼や造船重機などの労働組合で構成する基幹労連（組合員約２７万人）は１１日、日本製鉄など鉄鋼大手の労働組合が２０２４年春闘で、基本給を底上げするベースアップ（ベア）で月３万円を要求する方向で最終調整していることを明らかにした。３万円は１９７５年以来４９年ぶりの高い水準となる。昨今の物価上昇などを踏まえた要求とすることで、他業種との格差を是正し、人材の確保・定着につなげたい考えだ。（2024/01/11-19:33）

Labor unions of Nippon Steel Corp. and other major Japanese steelmakers are considering seeking a monthly pay-scale increase of 30,000 yen, a 49-year high, in this year's "shunto" spring wage talks, officials at the Japan Federation of Basic Industry Workers' Unions said Thursday.
   The labor side hopes that the pay hike demand that reflects recent inflation will help to correct wage gaps with other industries.
   The federation of labor unions of metalworkers, shipbuilders and others, with some 270,000 members, usually conducts pay talks every two years. In the previous 2022 talks, it requested a monthly pay hike of 3,500 yen each for that year and 2023.
   The management side agreed to raise salaries by 3,000 yen for 2022 and 2,000 yen for 2023. But wage gaps with other industries widened because of rapid inflation.
   This time, the federation will seek a pay scale hike only for 2024.
