Jerónimo López, secretary of the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP), announced that they will propose an increase of more than 100% of the Minimum Vital Remuneration (RMV) up to S / 2,500.
As part of the mobilization of unions for Labor Day, the leader questioned that Minister Antonio Varela is involved in a scandal for the alleged plagiarism of 54% of his doctoral theses.
“It is a national scandal and one that we reject. I think he has no morals to continue, I think that out of dignity and respect for the workers and the people he should resign. They questioned Castillo so much about choosing bad officials and she (Dina Boluarte) follows the same steps, ”he said.
Along these lines, he estimated that in June the CGTP representatives would be meeting with Minister Varela, to whom they will send a labor agenda with nineteen points to discuss in favor of the workers. Among the demands is the salary increase, this should amount to S / 3,000.
“The minimum wage now to compensate for the cost of living must be at least between S/2,500 to S/3,000, it is what we have been demanding for many years,” he stressed.
Regarding the Decoration of the Order of Labor, the CGTP secretary was outraged by the decoration that six people received, whom he considered not suitable to be flattered on this date, due to never having seen them in the streets raise their Voices for workers’ rights.
