The approved text instead provides for a delegation to the government to be exercised within six months. Among the objectives, the need to “guarantee the implementation of the right of every male and female worker to proportionate and sufficient remuneration, as enshrined in Article 36 of the Constitution”. The opposition was against it and saw their proposal blocked and abandoned the work in the Chamber. “They have compressed parliamentary time, thus killing the minimum wage with a delegation to the government.
