Salario mínimo 2026: “Ya hay una decisión amañada” dice presidente de Fenalco
El presidente de Fenalco, Jaime Alberto Cabal Sanclemente, reiteró en Cartagena que no asistirá a la Mesa de Concertación Salarial, instalada el pasado 1 de diciembre, aclarando que esa no fue una decisión personal sino gremial, de su Junta Directiva; al tiempo que afirmó: “Creemos que no va a ser una mesa de concertación seria, sino que ya hay una decisión amañada entre Gobierno y sindicatos”.
TL;DR
- Fenalco will not attend the Salary Concertation Table, deeming it a "rigged" process with a predetermined outcome by the government and unions.
- The organization believes the government's proposed minimum wage increase is populist, demagogic, and politically motivated ahead of elections.
- The commerce sector is experiencing a year of recovery, with growth between 4-5%, but is impacted by rising labor costs and insecurity.
- Fenalco calls for business leaders to unite and be active in upcoming elections to influence the country's direction, contrasting the private sector's job creation with government employment.
- The organization advocates for electing leaders who respect entrepreneurship, democracy, and the separation of powers.
