日本汽车产业顶尖工会联盟负责人表示，在明年的劳资谈判中，该联盟正寻求超越旨在跟上通胀步伐的薪资诉求，因为需要更强劲的薪资增长来应对来自中国的竞争挑战。
Japan's top automobile industry union group is looking to move beyond wage demands aimed merely at keeping pace with inflation in next year's labour talks, as stronger pay growth is needed to help compete with the challenge from China, its chief said.
全日本汽车产业劳同组合总联合会（JAW）会长金子晃大周一在接受路透社采访时表示：“我们正在讨论为2027年春季劳资谈判提高门槛，与往年相比。”
"We are discussing raising the bar compared with previous years" for the 2027 spring wage talks, Akihiro Kaneko, president of the Confederation of Japan Automobile Workers' Unions (JAW), told Reuters in an interview on Monday.
金子晃大指出，在近年获得了数十年未见的最强劲薪资涨幅后，JAW认为，主要侧重于保护工人免受生活成本上升影响的年度薪资上涨，已不足以扭转长达数十年的薪资停滞局面。
After securing the strongest wage gains in decades in recent years, JAW believes annual pay hikes focused primarily on protecting workers from rising living costs are no longer sufficient to reverse decades of wage stagnation, Kaneko said.
