Job insecurity and the truth about salaries

Job insecurity and the truth about salaries

Nowadays that we are living or, rather, surviving, I perceive work to be increasingly precarious in the sense that the need of society makes us slaves of said precariousness.

More frequently, people in an employment relationship, whether registered or not, are not happy with their jobs. Not analyzing falling or promoting job insecurity, but rather they have pushed us to a new type of job insecurity, which I call “job insecurity due to necessity”

Job insecurity out of necessity is a path that people, involuntarily, have had to choose due to the economic, social and institutional conditions that we are experiencing in our country.

Just mentioning three factors lead me to develop job insecurity out of necessity, they are: tax pressure, the lack of modernization of the labor market and population need.

From young university students to hopeless retirees, the entire society has fallen into deep precariousness in the world of work due to the mere need to survive in a context of full recession, declining wages and net stagnation of the Argentine economy, components that produce a absolute deprivation in society of its savings capacity and eternal hardship in companies that generate employment, financing and productive investment.

The labor market and economy is in a state of deep stagnation that will take us a long time to regain confidence in the labor chain.

There is a new double attempt in Argentine society. I see this bilateral attempt, on the part of the workers, to be tempted to cling to any job, in the most precarious conditions with the mere objective of bringing bread to their families. On the companies’ side, they have an involuntary temptation to hire unregistered labor because they cannot cover the tax pressure and tax tricks that they are going through.

If we think about the current situation in nominal terms, look at the chart:

Look at the picture, the pocket wages of 3 million poor workers. Look what they earn for 8 hours of work. You who are reading the note, think that you can live 30 days with that salary in hand, being blank and being “middle class”. Let’s not fuck around!!

The report takes 20 most significant unions that represent 3 million private salaried workers. Look at something, in Argentina there are 305 legally recognized unions with union status. Only 20 cover half of the private ones in white. That’s where we get into the problem. But be careful, it is not the unions, but the CCTs that are not reviewed and no matter how equal they are, they are no longer useful, if you do not review the basics, the table shows you that your salary is completely pulverized.

How are agreements reviewed? Easy. You have to see the salary scales with the categories and the nominal activity and volume of each company to see how to apply the bar. Why this? The SRL of two partners, with a capital of 100 lucas, owns a pizza and empanada place on Av Medrano that bills 1 peso per month and has a pizza maker, a counter and a motorcycle that it outsources, and has 600 lucas in salary and more social contributions. labor union. Not to mention if you rent the 60m2 premises and it is a franchise. The guy sets out to lose money. This is not the same as the pizzeria on Av. Triunvirato that bills 10 sticks per month and has 20 workers and has a full room every weekend.

I explain! You cannot apply the same union or salary standard to the guy who had a muff and started a small establishment as the mega pizzeria, one of the 5 most important in the country. This is called Salary and business equity referred to the specific activity of each item.

These values ​​represent a drop in purchasing power of more than 100%, black employment of 80% and a collapse of basic foods that must count in every salary or retirement benefit to cover the basics of a population.

Any company that is granted full legal security and equity in its production and main activity, through the implementation of an armor that protects it legally, will be able to give its focus, the components of these, to the production, investment and generation of more jobs, achieving this legal protection is, without a doubt, a success in the world of work for the entire society.

In short, if we want work to exist for all Argentines, without precariousness or any epithet that is harmful to workers or companies, we must all begin to build the path that guides us through the modernization and evolution of the old labor laws of our country to work and the transformation of the future.
