Guatemala's 5% minimum wage increase meaningless, say unions, workers
- 10 years ago
The Guatemalan government of President Otto Perez Molina has announced a 5% increase to the national minimum wage that will go into effect in January. However, unions and workers point out that the increase amounts only to 10 additional dollars per month, and that the monthly basic food costs for a family are still about double the monthly minimum wage. teleSUR.
