The third tripartite negotiations with the National Minimum Wage Council commenced yesterday at the Ministry of Labour with union representatives seeking a $6 increment from the current minimum wage of $198 for workers in the garment and footwear sector.
The employers, on the other hand, want the minimum wage to be brought down to $188 a month for workers due to them allegedly having incurred heavy losses during the lockdown or shutdown due to the Covid-19.
The government proposed $192, taking into account the sharp economic shock and turbulence the Covid-19 pandemic created which severely impacted not only the garment and footwear sector but also many other sectors and workers.
The negotiation talks began with Union representatives proposing a $6 increment from the current minimum wage.
The outcome of the negotiation talks will be known on September 28.
