Minister Daniel Maurate acknowledged that he will convene the National Labor Council to discuss the increase in the RMV, since the current amount is not sufficient.
Following the recent data on year-on-year GDP growth in May – 5%, thanks to fishing – the Minister of Labor and Employment Promotion, Daniel Maurate, said that the Peruvian economy is on the right track and gives rise to a debate on increasing the Minimum Vital Remuneration (RMV).
“We must begin to discuss the increase in the minimum wage (…) Consequently, the National Labor Council (CNT) must be convened to begin to discuss (said increase in the RMV),” he told the media.
The official claimed that “we all know that the current minimum wage – it stands at S/1,025 – is not enough.” The CGTP is proposing that it be raised to S/2,025.
It should be noted that since 2007, the National Labor Council has had a formula that establishes an annual frequency for raising the RMV, but due to constant tensions on this front, it has not seen the light of day – at the time, the businessmen cut off the dialogue and withdrew in rejection of the end of outsourcing in nuclear activities.
Recently, Winson Huamán, vice president of the CTP, told La República that there is no dialogue within the CNT and they believe that businessmen and the Government of Dina Boluarte are working against each other.
