This noon, the municipal Secretary of Government and Treasury, Aldo Álvarez, confirmed that “the Municipal Executive determined a 7% increase in the salaries of municipal employees, effective immediately in the month of August”.
In this regard, the official explained that “this measure taken by Mayor Cresto represents an annual adjustment of 69.2% that keeps municipal salaries above the inflation index and establishes a better scenario for the collective bargaining agreements that, together with the municipal unions, we will be debating in September,” he pointed out.
“In other words, we are reacting to the increase in inflation, locally supporting the measures that the National Government is taking, and working together with the unions to look after the family economy of municipal employees. Consequently, we also contribute to the local economic circuit, taking into account that the Municipality of Concordia is the most important public service company in the city and its workers are clients and consumers of Concordia's businesses,” argued Álvarez.
“This can be done because it is managed with efficiency and responsibility, preserving the balance between income and expenditure distribution, always prioritizing the quality of services, the execution of public works, and the strengthening of production and employment,” he added.
With this 7% increase - which will be paid together with municipal salaries on August 31 - the annual accumulated salary improvement stands at 69.2%, a percentage on which improvements in the collective bargaining process to be implemented in September are already being considered.
