The PNV defends its own SMI for the Basque Country and calls on trade unions and employers to negotiate

Jeltzales are calling for an increase in competences and for an interprofessional minimum wage of their own so that the amounts currently set can be improved.

On Monday, the PNV leadership defended the establishment of an inter-professional minimum wage (SMI) for the Basque Country and urged employers and trade unions to negotiate "a priori and without red lines".

The Basque Country Buru Batzar recalled in a statement, following its meeting today in Bilbao, that it prefers to extend autonomy and, in this case, to have a minimum wage of its own and to improve the amounts currently set.

Confebask has urged the Basque employers and trade unions to have a 'willingness to agree' on this issue in order to comply with the demands made by the initiative adopted by a large majority following its debate in the Basque Parliament on 23 March 2023.

The Jeltzale Executive has recalled that the Basque Government has publicly presented a rigorous analysis of the Basque socio-economic reality "showing the Government's commitment to the defence of quality employment and its own system of labour relations, which will lead to social cohesion", an objective to which the PNV agrees.

According to this aspect, we need our own instruments in the social sphere, "not delegates".

He has therefore warned that support has been given to the delegation of powers proposed by the popular legislative initiative submitted to the Basque Parliament, which requires a specific minimum wage, which 'does not correspond to the request made by the Basque trade unions to create their own framework for labour relations', he said.

The PNV has specified that this delegation of powers would mean that the Basque Country would be subject to the supervision of the State and would also be subject to the will of the Spanish courts, which are currently opposed to the proposed changes.
