Wage increase

[NewsWhore]

Deputies believe that workers in the private and public sector deserve a wage increase equivalent to the percentage of purchasing power lost as a result of increased inflation. Spokesman for the PRD deputies Cristian Paredes said that the wage increase was imperative for workers. Deputies are also asking the government to make inflation cutting plans as well as urging the government to reduce the taxes on fuel, to compensate for rising oil prices. Deputy Uceta nevertheless commented, "Really we have to think well, because it will be worth nothing if wages are increased, and a month later all consumer products are increased. Nothing would be accomplished".
