The government established it by decree due to the lack of agreement with businessmen and unions. But when it made it official, it forgot to clarify when it would come into effect.
Due to an error, the Government had to republish the officialization of the increase in the Minimum salary because he forgot to say when it would come into effect. That is why he clarified today that it will start to be effective as of July, and will be paid this month.
After failing in negotiations with the Minimum Living Wage Councilhe Government determined by decree in the Official Gazette the new salary floor that will go from $234,315.12 to $254,231.91 for July.
In addition, he announced the increases for the coming months: the floor will be 262,432.93 pesos in August, 268,056.50 in September, 271,571.22 in October.
Despite the increase ordered by the national administration, the basic salary It remains the lowest in 30 years and is still far from the initial request of the CGT, which had proposed that it jump to $480,000.
The SMVM covers “all workers included in the Employment Contract Regime approved by Law No. 20,744in the Agrarian Labor Regime, of the National Public Administration and of all entities and organizations of the National State that act as employer,” according to the resolution published by the Government through the Official Gazette.
Minimum Wage: CGT, dissatisfied after a new failed negotiation
After failing in the negotiation in the Council of the Minimum, Vital and Mobile Salary, the CGT issued a strong statement entitled “Soup again: a business offer that is not up to the task”.
In the text they talk about “social insensitivity” The employers’ response to the proposal of $245,094 presented by them is far from the $480,000 that the workers’ union had requested. They also asked the Government not to approve this “shameful offer.”
Finally, the Government decided to set a floor just above that suggested by the business sector.
