MADRID, 23 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Labor of Argentina, Raquel ‘Kelly’ Olmos, has assured this Saturday that the “commitment” of the governing Front of All (FdT) and President Alberto Fernández is that wages “beat inflation” to reverse the ” disastrous inertia” left by the government of former President Mauricio Macri.
“The commitment of the FdT, both from the electoral point of view and from the president, personally, is that wages beat inflation,” Olmos said in statements to AM740 radio.
“The commitment that this government assumed, which is part of its electoral contract and its political vocation, is that wages beat inflation and that we can significantly recover what the macrismo without pandemics, without war, only product of its policies generated”, he added.
The objective is “to reverse the disastrous inertia left by the four years of macrismo, when the purchasing power of wages, on average, fell by around 20 points,” he pointed out. “A central objective is the care, the maintenance of jobs”, she stressed.
Olmos has highlighted in particular the parity negotiations, “a process of dialogue and negotiation between workers and employers has proven to be virtuous, has shown to have a great capacity for recovering wages”. He has also referred to the “large proportion of informality” in the labor market.
