Yesterday the House approved the adjustment monthly minimum wage by 4.1%. The opposition raised the figure from the executive is a shame considering that no one can live with 172 thousand dollars. The coalition proposal was the increase in 175 thousand dollars, a difference of 3 000 pesos. What is shameful is that the people's representatives readjust the minimum wage as a criterion taking inflation factors and productivity and profit NOT just a worker must have generated a surplus for a company.
Certainly every year must be adjusted the minimum wage, but remain in the discussion for a few pesos more or less, makes it a great favor to the permanence of an unjust economic system that is unable to ensure basic survival of human beings through the work-wage relationship fact is this problem which has forced governments to intervene to turn in the creation of laws aimed at forcing the employer to share its profits with SALARIO_MiNIMO to ensure that workers have to feed and shelter. This salary
dependaround one million men and women in Chile without the possibility of conducting collective bargaining with their employer, deposit confidence in their own political representatives in parliament do. But employers have gained ground, against any eventual wage increase immediately install the threat: "if minimum wages rise more unfortunately have to lay off workers, as I have no money to pay them." Against this
all succumb lackeys of capital, preferring to leave such a large percentage of human beings living in poverty protected by the grossest of economic lies. Workers to be the material basis of the accumulation of wealth by the employer, an amount of surplus generated for companies far beyond what they receive in salary, is precisely that surplus which the employer refuses to share, and prefer that the money accumulated to rot on the banks rather than lower its profit rate and the equitable distribution of wealth. The contradiction is obvious, the logic of exploitation of human beings does not allow those who produce the wealth to enjoy it.
So gentlemen, to you who love to talk about social justice are consistent, not being asked here crumbs. An adjustment should allow the development of a decent life, a life's work compatriots take the ridge to put food into the house. And do not mislead the people with the layoffs, since much has been filling the mouth of the economic stability that is Chile, an example of the global economy, but when you redistribute the wealth equally, "nooo that Chile is very wrong, that the numbers are negative, that there is low productivity" giving back to the people. The minimum wage should increase gain according to the production of each firm and that clearly has not been a 4%.
