Banks agreed to a new 8% increase and raised parity to 51%

The La Bancaria Association announced this afternoon the signing of a new negotiation with Chambers ABBAPRA, ADEBA, ABA and ABE with which it incorporated an 8% increase on salaries in December 2020.

“On the date of the date, complying with the timely agreed review clause, an agreement was signed with the chambers ABBAPRA, ADEBA, ABA and ABE that adds a salary increase of 8% on the salaries of December 2020, payable until the 5th January 2022, totaling 51% for the 2021 period. This percentage applies to all the additional ones, “they reported from the union.

The amount will be paid until January 5, 2022 and will allow raising the initial salary of a bank worker to $ 118,868, which if the benefit for the participation in the profits of the financial system is taken into account – currently at $ 3,436.11 – amounts to $ 122,304.49.

From the union they stated that in this way guarantees “the defense of the purchasing power of each worker and each bank worker”.

In the past week, Palazzo was re-elected as head of the union banking for another four years after obtaining 94% of the votes in the elections, where he voted for 70% of the electoral roll.

With the ratification of the support, the union member had agreed with the different members of La Bancaria declare the state of alert and mobilization due “to the intransigence of the employers” and that the chambers “did not present a proposal that satisfies the salary needs” within the framework of the joint discussions.

The stance taken by the guild finally paid off because this Thursday the business chambers that represent the sector agreed to negotiate and signed the aforementioned agreement that will allow workers to end the year with an increase of 51%.
