The agreement, published yesterday in the Official Journal of the Federation by the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare, establishes that as of February 9, all wages and rates of workers at the service of the industry will have an increase of 5.75 percent. Thus, the minimum wage in the sector provided in article 41 of the contract law, is 228.38 pesos per day.
