This Monday, March 9, the executive secretary of the Venezuelan Confederation of Workers, Tito Blanco, declared that the labor union will propose a minimum wage of $200 to the government, with the aim of increasing it to $450 per month.

Blanco stated: “We are conducting the relevant economic studies with our advisors in order to present a proposal to the government regarding what we believe should be the minimum wage.”

He clarified that the amount of the proposed salary increase will depend on the calculations made, while also mentioning the potential inflow of approximately $37 billion into the country this year.

Blanco emphasized the availability of “sufficient resources to begin a process of restoring the value of work through the minimum wage,” clarifying the term “minimum wage” because “it encompasses a number of salary components such as social benefits, profit sharing, vacation pay, and night shift bonuses established by law.”

He pointed out that it is necessary to reconstruct the minimum wage, which is very different from income, as has been the current practice, in order to give work its due value.

Starting in January 2026, Mexican workers will receive a 13 % increase in the minimum wage, as indicated by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who added that the measure was supported by unions and employers.

This salary increase is part of the official promise that the basic wage will cover 2.5 basic food baskets by 2030.

With the increase, the national minimum wage will rise from 278.8 pesos per day (US$15.27) to 315.04 pesos (US$17.26). In the northern border region, where a differentiated system is in place, the figure will increase from 419.88 pesos (US$23) to 440.87 pesos (US$24.15).

In this regard, the monthly basic wage will be 9,582.47 pesos (US$524.96) in the rest of the country and 13,409 pesos (US$734.59) in the border region.

Authorities have indicated that the salary increase will benefit 8.5 million workers. They also highlighted that “the average real wage of formal employees registered with the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS) has grown 27.5% since 2018, reflecting a sustained improvement in labor income.”
