Public sector workers face wage uncertainty in Venezuela and Argentina

Jujuy public sector wages salary increases labor negotiations Argentina

In Venezuela, the National Health Federation (Fetrasalud) has resumed labor dialogue to address economic conditions for public employees. Union leader Pablo Zambrano indicated that a salary increase is expected, though uncertainty remains regarding whether the adjustment will be applied to the base salary or provided as a single integral payment. The union is pushing for direct base salary increases to combat inflation and the current freeze on the official minimum wage.

In Argentina, public employees in San Luis are facing severe economic hardship. The Sindicato de Empleados Provinciales (SIEP) reported that active workers are requesting food assistance from the union because wages are insufficient to cover basic necessities. According to SIEP General Secretary Mónica Sánchez Moreno, many households are forced to choose between paying utilities or purchasing food, with some workers relying on credit cards and loans to meet daily consumption needs.
