Employers Want to Overhaul Collective Labor Agreements: 'Invest Now, More Room for Wage Increases Later'

Instead, employers advocate for investments in training, artificial intelligence (AI), and productivity to strengthen companies.

The proposal reflects a shift in priorities, aiming to balance immediate wage demands with long-term business growth and employment sustainability.
