The employers plant Díaz at the social dialogue table, but submit a proposal for an increase that requires a 20% reduction in quotas in the agricultural sector and the de-indexation of public contracts
Negotiations on the new Minimum Interprofessional Wage (SMI) for 2023 started this Wednesday without any of the interlocutors. The CEOE has consumed his warning and has not attended the meeting called by the Ministry of Labour, with whom it refuses to meet until it rectifies and lifts the amendment which removed the Labor Inspectorate’s prior check on the causes of the ERE recovers, which in practice discourages companies from collective redundancies.
However, on the same day that the first board meeting was held after the renewal of Antonio Garamendi as president, the employers did not want to get out of the negotiations and launched an order to the government with its own proposal to raise the lowest rent in Spain. For example, employers, who have so far refused any increase in costs, would accept a 4% increase in the minimum wage by 2023, which would bring it to 1,040 euros, in 14 payments.
It is practically the minimum increase recommended by the experts in the report made public last Monday. Specifically, the commission proposes to raise it between 4.6% and 8.2% next year to raise it to a range between 1,046 euros and 1,082 euros gross, which they believe would be the amount by which the commitment to place it would be fulfilled. the average salary.
However, the CEOE sets two conditions for accepting this €40 per month increase: an additional 20% reduction in the farm compensation compared to the current common contingency incentives in the agricultural sector, which is most affected by this increase and change in the law for price revision in public procurement procedures to reflect the increase in SMI on current contracts.
