GSEE trade union federation: Minimum wage increase not enough
[InTime News]
The increase in the monthly minimum wage by 9.4% as of April 1 “is a far cry from the demands of the poorest of workers and does not allow them to cover basic living needs,” the country’s biggest private-sector trade union federation has said.
The General Confederation of Workers of Greece (GSEE) was commenting on Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ announcement that the minimum wage would increase to €780 as of April 1.
The GSEE reiterated its position that the minimum wage should be at 60% of the median salary and accommodate inflation, or €826, and it called for a national general collective labor agreement. [AMNA]
