The wage increase will cost the state HUF 152 bln in 2021-2023, Mager said.
The agreement is an acknowledgment of the "devoted work" of the employees of the National Waterworks, toll company NÚSZ, railway and bus group MÁV-Volán, regional railway GYSEV and postal company Magyar Posta over the past year and a half, she added.
The deal will raise railway workers' pay by 70% from 2016 levels by 2023, she said.
