Management and unions agree pay deal at Kolín car plant

The management of a plant producing Toyota, Peugeot and Citroen cars in Kolín have agreed a new collective pay agreement with union leaders. Workers at the central Bohemian factory will receive a 2.5 percent pay rise this year, along with a one-off bonus of CZK 4500 (around USD 250). Overtime payments will also increase at the plant, which was opened in 2005 and last year rolled out over 300,000 cars.
