Silva Peneda understands that there conditions for minimum wage rise in October. UGT says increased to 505 euros “can avenge” bosses do not go beyond 500.
the Chair of the Economic and Social Council (CES) believes that there are conditions for minimum wage rise as early as next month to a value that will not be below 500 euros. “I think there are conditions” for a rise in minimum wage “this year” possibly “in October,” said the Economic Daily. Silva Peneda values did not work but pointed to “at least” 500 euros.
On Friday, Secretary of State for Employment technicians called social partners to discuss the issue in an informal meeting. The meeting was not attended by the CGTP. On Wednesday, the working group made back between social partners to meet, this time at the headquarters of social dialogue.
Silva Peneda understands that “oGoverno is making an effort” to try social consensus. But, it found the DiárioEconómico, the subject still failed unanimously.
oExpresso As reported last week-end, the idea of raising the minimum wage in October is on the table, which is perceived by some as a way for the government to try to approach the UGT. And while many employers’ associations have already opened the door to a further increase in 2014, the Confederation of Trade and Services of Portugal (CCP) argues that the update should only take onJanuary effects, to protect annual contracts.
The UGT has demanded increasing the minimum (which is fixed at 485 euros since 2011) salary to 500 euros retroactive to July. But if the rise arise only in October that will be for 505 euros, refers to DiárioEconómico Carlos Silva.
“What has featured in me is that the position of UGT could avenge” continues the UGT leader, who advocates further increase to 510 euros in January.
But an increase up to 505 euros is out of the question for employers plants. The CIP, knows the Economic Journal, accepted update to 500 euros this year without retroactive, but refuses to go further. And the Farmers Confederation Portugal has the same opinion – indeed, the sector already pays at least EUR 500 since May. A new onJanuary rise will depend counterparts, says John Machado. Already accepts the CCP 500 euros, but only from January.
The CGTP proposal goes further than the UGT, claiming a rise to 515 euros with effect June and subsequent increases to 540 euros in January 2014 and 600 euros in 2016
The Minister Mota Soares had said he wanted to index the increase in the minimum wage to productivity, advocating a multi-year agreement, but this discussion is still open. “It is very difficult to define a set of automatic for years, which create a mechanism for automatically updating criteria,” said Vieira Lopes, CCP, aoDiárioEconómico. CIP has already been advocating a multi-year agreement, linked to objective criteria.
The increase to EUR 500 came to be scheduled for 2011, the agreement concluded in 2006 with the socialist government. Yesterday, the candidate for the primary PS António Costa defended an upgrade to 522 euros in January, says that value to take into account the freezing of reference in recent years.
