Due to the impact of inflation, the Government

will reopen the parity of the state ones

and will seek to close a rise

just above 40%

.

In this way, an attempt will be made to align the salaries of

130,000 employees of the central administration

with those of the staff of

Congress

, who last June signed a

similar

raise

with

Cristina Kirchner

and

Sergio Massa.

Informal negotiations will begin this week, prior to the meeting scheduled for August 19, in which the joint meeting with the

UPCN and ATE

unions will begin formally

.

This sector had agreed in May to

raise 35% in 6 installments

and with a revision in November, but it was agreed to

reopen it

after the strong price increases in the

first semester.

"We have not discussed it with the unions, we started it in the middle of this week and we are going to bring the best possible offer. That implies

advancing quotas and adding a few points to 2021 to close slightly above 40%,

not much more. But we are going to guarantee the recovery of the real salary of the public employment ", indicated official sources.

The state parity runs from May

to June next year.

Between January and May of this year, there was an increase of 

18%

corresponding to

2020.

And then, by 2021,

10% in July and 5% in August

, while

5%

is pending

in September, 4% in December, 6% in January and 5% in February 2022

.

The idea of ​​the Executive is to

advance

some of these fees and

add percentage points

.

According to the official calculation, salaries would exceed an expected inflation of 48% end-to-end.

But from ATE they maintain that it

is insufficient.

"40%

will be below inflation,

which will be above 50%, so it is necessary to

be above that or advance quotas

that have a concrete impact," warned

Hugo "Cachorro" Godoy

, leader of ATE and number two of the Autonomous CTA.

After June,

advances and reopening were raising the salary floor

. Last week,

Aceiteros

(48.5%) and

Commerce

(42%)

closed reviews

, after

Health

(45%) and

Construction

(47.5%) did the same. These increases put pressure on the state parity, a sector that since March 2018

lost 20.7% of its purchasing power

, according to a recent IARAF study.

In parallel to the negotiations at the national level, the Buenos Aires governor,

Axel Kicillof

, will meet this week with the provincial unions to

reopen the joint

unions

before November

.

The Province announced in July the advance to that month of the

 8%

increase agreed for September, reaching a cumulative increase of

31%

.
