Yolanda Díaz is pushing to get the recommendations for the 2027 minimum wage hike finalized much earlier than in previous years.
- The Ministry of Labor has given experts just three weeks to submit their official report on the wage increase.
- Typically, this expert committee consists of academics, union reps, and government members.
- Officials hope to have the new wage figures set before November 29.
- Díaz insists this timeline is independent of any upcoming election cycles.
By speeding up the process, the ministry aims to ensure workers don’t lose purchasing power while maintaining a predictable schedule for future adjustments.
