Labor Ministry is preparing an increase in the minimum wage before the elections of around 5%
The unions are requesting a 7% increase and the employers' association criticizes the political implications that this measure would have, which the Government will adopt when it receives the experts' report.
Yolanda Díaz, Minister of Labor, plans to raise the minimum interprofessional salary (SMI) before the general elections. The increase, which may be around 5% according to her previous messages and experts' reports, would be in line with current inflation data. This proposed increase is lower than the 7% suggested by CC OO and UGT, while the employers' association expresses its discontent at the possibility of a rise from the current 1,221 euros gross in 14 payments before November 29. The exact figure of the proposed increase has not been specified by Díaz's department.
