PRAGUE, Oct 16 (Reuters) - Union demands for a nominal 7 percent increase in wages next year are in line with expected productivity growth, central bank Governor Zdenek Tuma said on Monday.
"I can state ... that the demand of the unions is on the level of the expected growth of labour productivity," he said after a meeting with a leader of the country's top union group.
"The second issue is whether this is good or bad, which I really do not want to evaluate (at this moment)," he added.
