As Grandes Opções do Plano dão seguimento ao caminho do Governo que agrava os problemas do país

Sr. Presidente, Srs. Membros do Governo, Sras. e Srs. Deputados,

 

Raise National Minimum Wage to €1050 already in January!

When everybody swears eternal love for wage increases, the PCP once again provides the opportunity for the Assembly of the Republic to decide to increase the national minimum wage to €1050 as early as January, thereby stimulating a general increase in wages and the valorisation of the careers and professions of all workers.

Those who say ‘wages yes, but not now’ will come up with the old refrain: companies can't cope, we need to create wealth and then distribute it, productivity has to increase, and so on...

Workers are not numbers and they are not parts; they are the ones who produce wealth and should be valued

Mr. Prime Minister, a preliminary note: MP Mr. Hugo Soares kindly brought up the issues surrounding the labour package but managed to spend eight minutes talking about the labour package without mentioning a single measure contained in it. It should also be noted that CHEGA and Iniciativa Liberal tried to sidestep this issue, but Mr. Prime Minister, I would like to ask three specific questions.
