Bonus payments for inflation
17/12/2007
The list of workers in Argentina who will receive a bonus payment to cope with inflation is growing and will include leatherworkers and tannery employees.
The former have received assurances that a 3.5% increase in pay they were to receive from February will be backdated to October 2007. Their employers will also have to pay them an extra $150 each month until new pay negotiations start at the end of April.
Meanwhile, 10,000 tannery employees across the country have been promised extra payments totalling $750 between January and April.
Unions first secured the extra payments on behalf of automotive workers, with workers in a wide range of other sectors soon calling for the same benefits.
