Discarding an increase in the minimum wage for Venezuelans and adding indexed bonuses that amount to a little more than 75 dollars a month is devastating for a people summed up in misery with a family food basket estimated at 510 dollars, is part of the critical analysis of the deputy before the National Assembly, Octavio Orta who emphasizes the need for a staggered salary emergency decree that starts with 200 dollars a month.
“Venezuela with an inflation of the year 2022 that is estimated between 230 to 500 percent, for a minimum salary of 5 dollars a month places the worker in the scale of extreme poverty determined by the United Nations by income. This requires an emergency salary decree of 200 dollars, then in the next three months to bring it to 300 dollars and the following 90 days to balance at 400 dollars anchored to the inflationary variation to get out of the last place of minimum wages in Latin America that competes with Haiti and Cuba” asserted the national parliamentarian.
He recommended analyzing the proposals of the COPEI Party, the recommendations of the International Organization of Workers, as well as the technical team that works with the Venezuelan confederation to adjust the income of workers and can cover their needs, also affected by a dollarized economy of fact that impact no less than 60 essential products.
«So that the world can have an idea of the worker’s income, if we divide 75 dollars (70 bonuses plus 5 salaries) in an average of 24 working days a month, he has a daily income in the order of 3 dollars, when the study demands income in the order of 21 dollars a day. Continuing with the analysis, the minimum salary without bonuses is enough for a kilo of cheese or a package of four rolls of toilet paper, “explained the deputy Octavio Orta.
