The Ministry of Labor and Social Economy of the Government of Spain will meet this Tuesday only with the CCOO and UGT to discuss the raising the minimum interprofessional wage (SMI) for this year due to the refusal of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) to attend the meeting.
The meeting, convened today at 11 a.m., will be chaired by the Secretary of State for Employment, Joaquín Pérez Rey, with the participation of CCOOthe secretary of Union Action, Mari Cruz Vicente, while on behalf UGThis Deputy General Secretary for Union Policies, Fernando Luján, will be present.
CEOE announced last night that he would not be attending the meeting, claiming that “the conditions have not been met” for his attendance because the government has not carried out the mandatory consultations with social agents during January, nor has it made a formal proposal or responded to the one that the employers did in their time, consisting of a 4% increase in the SMI by 2023, to 1,040 euros gross per month.
So far, only one meeting has been held to discuss the rise in SMI for 2023. It was last December 21st and the employer was not present due to their discomfort with Labor due to the introduction of an amendment to the Labor Code that would allow the Labor Inspectorate to monitor the causes of the collective redundancies.
What increase is each member proposing?
The Minister of Labor and Social Economy, Yolanda Diaz, believes that the SMI is the “most effective” measure to get out of the crisis and “compensate for the loss of purchasing power” faced by families. For this reason, it favored raising the 2023 SMI “to the high end”, recommended by the experts advising the government on this, which would increase this minimum income by 8.2%, to €1,082 gross in 14 payments.
For its part, the first vice-president of the government and minister of the economy, Nadia Calviño, has asked to find a “good balance” “within” the margin of increase recommended by the experts, from 4.6% to 8, 2%. , so that it is compatible with job creation.
At the December 21 meeting, the government presented the recommendations of the committee of expertswho proposed increasing the SMI to between EUR 46 and EUR 82 per month this year, bringing this minimum income to between EUR 1,046 and EUR 1,082 gross per month for fourteen payments.
CCOO opts for the upper part of that band, 1,082 euros, with the possibility of extension €1,100figure he advocates UGT.
finally, the CEOE states that the minimum wage should increase by 4%, until €1,040 gross per month in 14 installments.
For now, the Spanish government has extended the SMI for 2022, of 1,000 euros gross in 14 payments, until the new amount is set for this year. The goal and commitment of the Executive is to achieve 60% of the average Spanish salary.
