The national government will convene next week representatives of workers and employers to negotiate prices and wages.
This was confirmed this afternoon by the Deputy Chief of Staff, Cecilia Todesca Bocco, at the end of the meeting of
the economic cabinet
at Government House.
"Next week, and this has already been coordinated by all the cabinet ministers, we are going to convene both workers and businessmen. We want to share our work methodology with them," Todesca Bocco told the press.
At the end of the economic cabinet meeting, the official assured that for the Government "it is time to
make a great effort
to converge the variables of prices, wages and spending, around what we have put in the budget."
"For us the figures of the Budget are very important and are a guide, and I think we can do it. We need the commitment of the workers and also the businessmen for this," he added.
"We are
not going to go with a work methodology that supposes" limits "
on the discussion of collective bargaining agreements, we are very respectful of that process, because it seems to us a democratic process, characteristic of Argentina that we defend", he remarked the deputy chief of staff.
"In the budget we have a real increase in wages around 3 and 4 points, because if wages do not recover it is very difficult for the economy to recover because 60 and 70 percent of GDP is consumption ”Highlighted Todesca Bocco.
