December 22, 2008

The Government’s aim is to reach 800 euros at the end of the legislature

The minimum wage (SMI) in 2009 will rise by 3.5% to 621 euros a month. Trade unions believe that this increase is “insufficient” to achieve the Government’s commitment to raise the SMI 200 euros per month in this legislature.

Thus, a minor increase in the coming year could be offset with larger increases in subsequent years.

UGT warned that with the increase of 3.5% compounded reach 800 euros within four years. In addition, is the paralysis of the convergence of SMI Spanish with 60% of the average wage of the European Union (EU).

In the last legislature, the minimum wage was increased by 139.5 euros per month, from 460.5 euros to be paid in 2004, up to 600 euros in 2008, ie 30.3% more. In 2004 rose by 8.6% in 2005 and 4.5%, while in 2006, 2007 and 2008 the increase was above 5% each year.
