The debate on the own minimum wage will be debated today in Parliament without support to move forward

from 9:30, ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Hiru and Etxalde will defend the Popular Legislative Initiative (with 138,000 signatures in favour) in the Basque Parliament, but the result seems to have been decided: PNV and PSE-EE will vote against the procedure in accordance with the Basque Government's view.

ELA's Secretary General, Mitxel Lakuntza, will take the floor on behalf of all trade unions to defend the People's Legislative Initiative calling for the creation of a Basque minimum wage. The debate will begin at 9.30 a.m., although it appears that the proposal will be blocked as PNV and PSE have advanced their opposition to the procedure.

The Basque Government maintains that the establishment of the minimum wage is the exclusive competence of the State and that this debate must take place within the framework of collective bargaining between trade unions and employers. If this negative vote is confirmed, the legal procedure initiated by the trade unions ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Hiru and Etxalde will be closed.

Yesterday, the trade unions launched a final attempt at pressure witha demonstration in Bilbao involving thousands of people, calling for respect for the 'will of the citizens' expressed in 138,000 signatures and denouncing the 'blockade' of Confebask, which has also refused to negotiate its proposal in the workplace.
