Labor groups on Thursday raised concerns about the inadequacy of the minimum wage offered by companies to sustain a decent standard of living, and advocated for a wage increase.
Labor groups on Thursday raised concerns about the inadequacy of the minimum wage to provide families a decent standard of living, and also called for an end to blaming labor costs for business failures as they advocated for a nationwide wage hike.Members of various labor groups within the coalition strongly reiterated their demand for the implementation of the P150 legislated wage hike proposed by the National Wage Coalition.
"It becomes challenging because the government and investors often target the workers, assigning blame and demanding sacrifices from them," said Annie Geron of the Public Services Labor Independent Confederation .The united labor front stressed that wage increases are not the main factor causing closures in the market, but rather other production expenses like electricity and transportation which, when compared to their competitors, receive more subsidies.
