Minister does not commit to interim increases

In the face of intensifying social protest, the leader said that“we are at a moment in which it is clear that the valuation of wages is critical from a social point of view.

Ana Mendes Godinho assumed that the minimum wage “is the very minimum, below which it is not admissible that anyone is working,” but did not commit to interim increases in the process of evaluating the implementation of the agreement on income and competitiveness signed in October in the Social Dialogue.

Among the measures foreseen in the agreement, the minister highlighted a measure aimed at companies that hire young people with permanent contracts and a minimum salary of 1,320 euros.
