The Basque Government envisages a margin of up to €1,385 to negotiate the minimum wage in the ACV
The Department of Economy, Employment and Employment proposes a wage gap after analysing the socio-economic reality of the Basque Country. The study has been strongly criticized by ELA and LAB and calls for an interprofessional minimum wage of its own for the ACV.
The Basque Government has completed its analysis of the minimum wage of the agreements in the Basque Country, in which, on the basis of a "detailed" analysis of socio-economic reality, a wage gap of €1,385 has been calculated to serve as a negotiating instrument for the social partners.
The Department of Economy, Labour and Employment has presented to the employers Confebask and the trade unions CCOO and UGT (ELA and LAB have not participated in the forum by its own decision) at the social dialogue table in the Basque Country.
On the other hand, the ELA and LAB unions consider the proposal to be insufficient and call forthe Basque Country to have its own inter-professional minimum wage, which will affect all labour relations and not a minimum wage for agreements, on which, in their words, the Basque Government's analysis is based.
The vice president and head of this department, Mikel Torres, will present the study to the public today at an informative event in Bilbao and on Friday the department will transfer it to the ELA and LAB unions at a meeting requested by these power stations.
According to the Department, the study is intended to serve as a basis for collective bargaining as a "rigorous and well-founded reference to help improve wage levels and reduce labour inequalities."
The report is based on an "in-depth" analysis of the socio-economic reality of the Basque Country and is based on "the context of minimum wages in both Spain and Europe and the importance of the increase in minimum wages in Spain in recent years, especially in the fight against poverty", they say.
According to the Basque Government, "as a result of this analysis, the social partners will be offered a bat wage marginas a negotiating tool ".
For their part, the ELA and LAB unions have called for an interprofessional minimum wage of their own and "dignified" for all workers in the Basque Country.
In his view, the Government's proposal focuses on the minimum wage of the Convention, excluding "workers who are in a situation of greatest vulnerability: those who do not have a Convention or those to whom a State Convention applies".
They also believe that the amount of salary in the study is insufficient.
