Of course, by March of this year inflation was already climbing 15.3% and outlining the highest rates in recent years, since the signing of 50% was already seen to continue crawling up the stairs and the price for the elevator.
In the month of August this year, The union rejected the proposal for a 16% increase in salary review agreed by parity for the period 2021/2022 plus a quarterly bonus for an amount to be defined subject to different guidelines. With that increase, the cumulative improvement of 66%. This proposal was rejected by the union seeing how inflation continued to climb, which in August is 56% accumulated and an annual inflation of 78.5%.
The union’s rejection has its arguments in that they measure the annual since the signing of the last joint was in July 2021.
The tire union intends to set a percentage for the joint 2023 that exceeds 5% annual inflation. Due to the values that are being considered, the union wants a parity of 105% to compensate for the loss of purchasing power of an item that has a very high demand.
Added to this dispute is the payment of overtime on weekends, which is intended to be 200%, the current one being 100% and a compensatory bonus in December of this year, as it was in 2021.
The rumors of one of the 3 companies leaving the country due to union pressure are becoming more resonant, but it is also true that the item had a strong increase in sales in the last 6 months. Same period that the negotiations between the parties have been failing with a Ministry that is not having the ability to contain them.
Currently, the tire category is far from the top 10 of the 2022 joint ranking. The average, except for Private and Port Security that closed 86% and 75% respectively, is 60% with revision in November/December.
