One of the most sensitive issues for employment in Mexico are salaries and payment schemes. A recent report by Citizen Action Against Poverty revealed that almost 8 out of every 10 workers in the country lack decent working conditions.
In an effort to address this problem and contribute Chile Mobile Number List to the fight against poverty, one hundred Mexican companies joined forces to create the Companies for Wellbeing initiative ; through which they commit to establishing a base salary of 6,500 pesos per month for their direct collaborators and those hired through outsoursing.
Among the signatory companies, companies such as Nestlé México, Estafeta and Gentera stand out.
Industries from all sectors and from various regions of the country committed to ensuring that collaborators receive at least that amount of money plus their legal benefits.
It is estimated that 1.7 people work for each household in the country, a figure that when multiplied by the base salary of 6,500 pesos results in 11,050 pesos per month, a number close to that indicated by Coneval to acquire the basic basket in a family of four. people, Zapata Guizar explained.
“The effect of the initiative will be immense and in multiple orders due to the impact on well-being,” he assured after highlighting that 46% of formal workers earn less than 6,500 pesos per month, which will make formal employment more attractive.
“(We trust) that this will have a positive impact on consumption,” said Horacio Fernández Castillo, executive president of Empresas Tajín.
At the conference there was no precise information on how many employees will benefit from the measure, but Armando Santacruz González, general director of Grupo Pochteca, promised that over time this figure will be reported, as well as the number of companies that join. to the initiative.
Likewise, he assured that this fact will benefit “the finances of the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), because it has significant financial pressures. “Beyond the well-being of employees, social security systems will be strengthened.”
And inflation?
Zapata Guízar stressed that the initiative will not have repercussions on inflationary increases, since the 100 committed companies will not increase prices.
“It does not have that inflationary effect, we feel that the conditions are met today, it is something that has been desired for many years and today we are being able to make this proposal,” he said.
Santacruz González ruled out that this measure generates price increases, since this only occurs if the “increase in salary does not correspond with productivity, then there may be an inflationary impact.”
When asked why they decided to take this measure when the indicators indicate a national and global economic slowdown, as well as a decline in different industries, the businessmen said they were aware of the situation.
“The conditions are what they mention (slowdown and fall of some industries in Mexico), but we have been evolving in recent years in the perception of the consequences of an initiative like these; By not raising prices it does not generate inflation,” said Fernández Castillo of Empresas Tajín.
Outsourcing companies also enter
When asked if outsourcing companies will also be included, the businessmen indicated that as a requirement to enter the initiative, companies have to comply with their tax obligations, as well as be in compliance.
However, this measure is also included for companies of this type that work with companies that are within the initiative, explained the executive president of Corporaciones Zapata.
“This covers both your direct employees and requiring the outsourcing companies that work for you to comply with these guidelines, to guarantee that none of the people are below this income,” he outlined.
