General Union of Peruvian Workers (CGTB(The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion requested)MTPE) A new increase in the minimum wage to 1,300 poundsupdating the vital minimum wage (RMV) which remains at S/1,130 since the last amendment approved by the executive. The request was submitted during a meeting with the Minister of Labour. Oscar Fernandezwas conducted only ten days ago, according to information collected by Republic.
The union approach takes as a reference the imbalance between the value of the current domestic value and the value of the basic family basket, which the union estimates at more than 1,800 Singaporeans. He explained, “There is a large gap between this amount and the basic basket of more than 1,800 Syrian pounds, and even this is only for very necessary expenses.” Gustavo MinayaDeputy Secretary General of CGTP, in the middle.
According to the leader’s story, the agenda delivered to Fernández also included social and labor proposals, such as the action plan Amending pensions, reforming the collective labor relations law, and facilitating the right to strike. Minaya warned that currently “90% of strike orders have been declared illegal, and this puts workers at risk,” a problem attributed to legislative restrictions.
Although The CGTP requests that the minimum wage be immediately raised to £1,300 as a technical basisThey stated that in the past they had raised the amount of S/1,550 based on data from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (PCR), National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (Eni) and the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion itself.
The amendment to S/1,300 was a response to conciliation efforts with business, although ultimately government-led Dina Bolwarti He approved an “arbitrary” increase from 1,025 cents to 1,130 cents, according to the union leader’s statements.
CGTP confirms that it has not received a new communication from the Ministry to evaluate this proposal. “If that is the case, it will be because we will call him back to demand to know what has been accomplished,” he noted.
Before the meeting with the CGTP, the Minister of Labour, Oscar FernandezHe responded that he would review the proposal after he recently took office, a position the union described as diplomatic but insufficient.
“He was diplomatic and said he would review it because he had just taken office. Unfortunately, these changes make us workers disappointed because if there were no solutions before, we see that there will not be any solutions in this transitional government if there are no concrete actions.”
In this sense, they raised doubts about the political capacity of the executive to resolve the salary demand. “There was no will from the minister To say: “Let’s meet in 30 days and evaluate progress.” “There was not even the capacity for those clear, tangible gestures that we workers need,” the CGTP spokesperson said.
The union also questioned Fernandez’s appointment due to his career outside the labor sector. He concluded: “He may be a good athlete, but he does not have any knowledge in the business sector. It is like hiring a medical technician to perform operations.”
