[HIGHLIGHTS] Despite what was promised, the Government did not convene the Minimum Wage Council in January

Despite what was promised, the Government did not convene the Minimum Wage Council in January. In December, the minimum wage was $156,000.

Benefits and even the income tax floor depend on that number. The SMVM Commission brings together union members from the CGT and CTA and business representatives such as the UIA. It constitutes a kind of national parity that can set the percentages of salary increases that unions and employers would be willing to agree to for all activities, says NE.
