During a formal event of the signing of the decree that establishes the increase in the minimum wage for 2022, President Iván Duque celebrated the consensus reached by the parties to bring the figure to one million pesos.
(Will the minimum affect workers with other salary ranges?).
“This is a triumph for Colombia”, He declared as president in his intervention at the signing of the decree in which representatives of the economic unions and the workers’ centrals were present.
He also thanked the effort of the president of Andi, Bruce Mac Master, and other businessmen and industrialists who allowed to achieve this agreement.
He also reminded Julio Roberto Gómez, president of the CGT, who died last year but with whom they worked in previous years in discussions of the minimum wage and other wage and labor issues.
(What happened to the other requests that were brought to the minimum table).
After a rise of 10.07% in nominal terms, the minimum wage for next year is one million pesos ($ 1,000,000), plus the transportation subsidy of $ 117,172.
With this agreement, since 2000, there have been eight occasions in which a consensus has been reached on increasing the minimum.
