Even if minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros it would be "short", Fesap warns

Fesap warned that, even if the minimum wage in the State rose to 1,030 euros, this value would continue to be insufficient. The union recalls that there is a minimum agreement until 2029, but the expectation was that inflation would not accelerate so much, especially in the food and fuel sectors.
