金属労協、ベア１万２０００円以上　要求方針決定、過去最高額―賃上げ「定着」訴え・２５年春闘

　自動車、電機など五つの産業別労働組合で構成する金属労協は３日、東京都内で協議委員会を開き、２０２５年春闘の要求方針を正式決定した。基本給を底上げするベースアップ（ベア）要求基準として過去最高の月額１万２０００円以上を掲げ、中小労組への波及を促す。金子晃浩議長は冒頭、「賃上げの流れを定着させていくために極めて重要な年になる」と訴えた。
　ベア要求は１２年連続。要求額は月１万円以上を求めた２４年春闘を上回り、ベア額を明示する現行方式となった１９９８年以降で最高となる。
　金子氏は協議委に先立ち開いた記者会見で、ベア要求額を引き上げた理由について、近年の春闘で高水準の賃上げを獲得してきた一方で「急激な物価上昇を上回る賃上げを実現できていない」と説明。企業規模による賃上げの格差に関しては「縮まるどころか拡大し、看過できないレベルにある」との認識を示した。（2024/12/03-18:07）

The Japan Council of Metalworkers' Unions said on Tuesday that it will demand a record-high pay-scale increase of 12,000 yen or more in next year's "shunto" annual spring labor negotiations.
   The JCM, an organization that groups labor unions in the automobile, electronics and three other industries in the country, aims to ensure that wage increases exceed the rate of inflation.
   "We are at a crossroads as to whether we can consistently provide a virtuous cycle for the Japanese economy and a sense of security to consumers," JCM Chair Akihiro Kaneko said at a press conference in Tokyo, referring to next year's shunto talks. "With its two million members, the JCM will lead (wage hikes)," he said.
   This will be a 12th consecutive year for the JCM to demand a pay-scale increase. Next year's shunto talks are expected to go into full swing as early as February.
   The Japanese Trade Union Confederation, the largest umbrella organization of labor unions in the country, has said that it will demand a wage increase of 5 pct or more, including a pay-scale hike, in the 2025 shunto.
