The Salary Board will meet again next week to adjust the minimum wage based on the criteria established by Economy Minister Sergio Massa. The main function of the minimum wage is to update social welfare programs that are calculated as half of the minimum wage. These have been limited to accompanying inflation with minimum wage rises in quotas. March’s salary board meeting ended with a majority vote from members to increase the minimum wage by 26.6% in three quotas. The Workers’ CTA abstained and the Autonomous CTA rejected it.
