ELA and LAB have ensured that the increase in the minimum wage proposed by Torres would affect only 10,000 workers
They believe that the proposal does not take into account the profits made by companies in recent years, nor the productivity generated by their workforce, and therefore does not aim at 'social cohesion or fair distribution of wealth'.
ELA and LABhave warned that the increase in the minimum wage in the agreement proposed by the Basque Government would have a "marginal impact" on Basque workers, as it would only benefit the 10,000 workers with an updated agreement.
In this regard, they consider that the Basque Government has limited itself to working on the reference to the conventions signed in the territory, when the lowest paid persons are, as they have specified, 188,000 workers to whom the State conventions apply and 48,000 workers without an applicable agreement, mostly women, migrants, young people or persons with functional diversity.
ELA and LAB insist that the minimum wage should benefit these workers in particular, either through an inter-professional agreement with employers or through the law, in the event that the Basque Country acquires the competence to manage it, as required by aPopular Legislative Initiative , promoted by both power stations. As explained in a statement, they are currently collecting signatures for this initiative.
They also point out that the Government does not take into account the profits made by companies in recent years or the productivity generated by their workforce, adding that the aim is not 'to reduce social cohesion, inequality or fair distribution of wealth'.
The proposal, published by the Vice-President and Counsellor for Economy, Employment and Employment, Mikel Torres, has been reflected in a study commissioned by the Department,which statesthat the minimum wage in the agreement would be between €1,268 and €1,385 gross in 14 instalments, with a difference of between 7% and 17% from the State Minimum Wage (€1,184 gross in 14 payments).
