Discussions on ATA and Minimum Wage Between Government and Trade Unions
November 12, 2025
The issue of the Cost of Living Allowance (ATA) and the minimum wage has become more complex after recent decisions by trade unions. While employers have accepted certain changes, unions express concerns about the emerging conditions. The main disagreement is over whether the ATA should be reviewed annually or biennially in connection with the minimum wage, with unions advocating for annual reviews. Unions will seek clarifications from the President of the Republic as further developments are expected. Despite the disagreements, the government remains optimistic about resolving the issue.
