BERLIN (Reuters) - Leaders of Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) have told party members they will wring concessions from Angela Merkel if they start coalition talks, including on a minimum wage, equal pay and a financial transaction tax.
According to an internal document seen by Reuters on Sunday, the SPD will say 10 demands are non-negotiable, including a minimum wage of 8.50 euros per hour, equal pay for men and women, greater investment in infrastructure and education, and a common strategy to boost euro zone growth and employment.
