連合、最低賃金１１００円を要求＝ベアは７年連続－２０年春闘

　連合は２４日発表した２０２０年春闘の基本構想で、最低賃金を時給１１００円以上とするなど、達成すべき金額や水準を初めて明記した。大企業と中小企業、正社員と非正規労働者の格差是正が狙い。基本給を底上げするベースアップ（ベア）も７年連続で要求。ベアの水準は前年と同じ「２％程度」に設定した。
　最低賃金については、企業内で協定を結んだ上で、昇給ルール導入を求める。基本構想では「賃金を働きの価値に見合った水準へと引き上げるための社会横断的な水準」として、勤続１７年相当で時給１７００円、月給２８万５００円を目指すとした。（2019/10/24-19:00）

The Japanese Trade Union Confederation, or Rengo, said Thursday that it aims to achieve a minimum hourly wage of over 1,100 yen in next year's "shunto" spring wage negotiations.
   The umbrella body for labor unions across the country also said it will call for a pay scale hike for the seventh consecutive year next year and demand a pay scale increase of around 2 pct as sought for the 2019 shunto.
   In its basic plan for the 2020 shunto, Rengo said that it aims to achieve an hourly wage of 1,700 yen and a monthly salary of 280,000 yen for employees who have been working for 17 years or equivalent.
   It was the first mention by Rengo of specific wage targets in its basic shunto plan. The move is designed to correct the wage gap between large and smaller companies as well as regular and nonregular employees.
   Rengo recognized that its yearslong practice of demanding wage increases alone have had little effect on narrowing the gap. Conventional efforts alone are unlikely to bring widespread wage increases, Rengo President Rikio Kozu told a press conference.
