Garamendi points out to the Government for its absence at the minimum wage table

Date: March 28, 2024 Time: 22:26:50

Antonio Garamendi has once again charged against the Government before the start of the dialogue table on the interprofessional minimum wage (SMI). The president of the Spanish Confederation of Business Organizations (CEOE) has once again held the Executive responsible on Tuesday for the absence of the employers’ association at the meeting, given the lack of response from the Ministry of Labor and Social Economy to their proposals

“If I send someone to the table, because technical people go, they do not have the ability to say yes or no because we do not have a proposal (from the Government). The minimum is to send a proposal,” Garamendi told the media this Tuesday and collects Europa Press. The president of the businessmen has indicated that the Government has only presented “a fork” proposed by the Committee of Experts to which Labor commissioned a report on the SMI, with a proposal for an increase of between 4.6% and 8, 2% .

However, Garamendi has rejected the validity of that report and has insisted that the Government must have presented a specific figure to the dialogue table. “There is a fork, but we don’t know more. The experts have nothing to say to me. I represent the companies, which are the ones that pay the salaries,” he stated.

“Companies are the ones that pay the salaries”

In addition, the businessman has criticized the Ministry of Labor for the lack of response to the document sent by the CEOE, in which the employer proposed a 4% increase for 2023, taking into account the particular case of the countryside and the increase in wages for the companies that have contracts with the administration.

Garamendi considers that the Government, with the presence of the social agents at this table, was only looking for the photo, and recalled that the rise of the SMI is a power of the Government, after consulting the social agents, and this had already been done in a dialogue table on December 21. The CEOE did not attend that first meeting either, although it sent a written document.

The president of the employers’ association has defended that employers are in favor of wage increases and has referred to the latest collective agreements signed, “which are the ones that are really worth it.” Likewise, he has insisted that the employers are always willing to negotiate, as shown by 14 “very complicated” agreements that were reached in the past.
