Yolanda Díaz wants to raise the Minimum Wage to September 1 and Calviño opposes: "It cannot be retroactive"

There is no agreement on how to raise the Minimum Interprofessional Salary with the social agents and not even in the Government itself. The second vice president,

, wants the increase that she raises, between 12 and 19 euros per month, to take place retroactively to September 1, but the first,

, believes that not before October. "It cannot be retroactive," Calviño said on TVE on Monday. The CCOO union leader,

revealed, however, that in the frustrated social dialogue meeting on the SMI, the Ministry of Labor defends retroactivity to the first day of the month and this was confirmed by EL MUNDO.

The argument of the Ministry of Labor is that the rise should be "immediate" in line with what was announced last week by the Prime Minister, Pedro Sánchez. For Calviño, the expected entry into force is next month. "Ideally, we will reach a clear position in the course of September so that

of this year." Asked if there was room for retroactivity, she has denied it and has spoken of it coming into force only "in the latter part of the year."

The first vice president is already making, however, an important concession accepting the rise in the SMI that she herself stopped before the summer for fear that it would harm job creation, particularly for young people. Calviño wants, however, that it is not a decision of the Government without agreement of the social agents and he appealed to CEOE to join a pact. However, the employer's negotiator,

, insisted at the meeting that

.

Neither does the labor director of Cepyme,

defend him

, which argues that "the situation of companies is quite deteriorated and the economy has not yet managed to recover from the crisis." Neither is Social Security affiliation, so the employer maintains that "measures that lead to higher cost increases would only serve to penalize the activity of companies."

The unions do see the rise possible without economic damage and have been open in the meeting that the rise is less than the 25 euros they raise provided that in the future the goal of the SMI representing 60% of the average salary is accelerated .

However, the failure of this Monday leaves the continuity of the dialogue on this matter in limbo.

"

Unless there is something new in the next few hours, the table will not be reconvened, the consultation period to which the Government is obliged will be opened", The UGT Deputy Secretary General for Trade Union Policy, Mariano Hoya, explained at the end of the meeting, according to Europa Press.
