Pradales will meet on Tuesday with those who are responsible for Confalkask And the trade unions are of the opinion that “it must make it clear to the employer who does not allow her to monopolize salary policy and that if she does a distance, it intends to legally determine the minimum wage.”
“Although entrepreneurs have collected the biggest benefits of their history in recent years, they do not want a minimum salary comparable to that of countries with a wealth comparable to the CADV, a sign that they want to collect those benefits at the expense of the exploitation of their employees,” the trade unions have expressed in the memorandum.
