Labor Secretary Alfonso Navarrate Prida signed a collaboration agreement with workers and employers this week to have a uniform minimum wage across Mexico by this year’s end.

Navarrete said in a press conference that the agreement aims to increase the worker’s minimum wages and address the legitimate demand of integrating geographic areas A and B, which have different minimum wages.

He said the two areas will meet halfway to reach a fixed wage by the April deadline.

Speaking before representatives of employers, he said the productive sectors recognize that permanent dialogue between workers, employers and government has enabled progress in commitments such as the increase of formal employment.

Other advances have included greater economic productivity and training workers for better cooperation with employers, which has increased labor peace.
