UBS to increase swiss salaries in 2017

UBS, Switzerland's biggest bank, will increase the salaries of its employees in Switzerland up to and including the middle management by an aggregate 0.8%, the company said in a statement today.
"This overall result is the outcome of negotiations between employer and UBS employee delegations," the bank said in a statement.
The association of banking employees demanded an increase of 1.5% for 2017 and will not be happy about the decision by UBS, which acts as trendsetter for the industry.
The increase is effective as of March 1, 2017.
