Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia Demands Minimum Wage of RSD 40,000

The member of the Social-Economic Council ahead of the Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia (SSSS), Dusko Vuckovic, talked today with representatives of the Autonomous Trade Union of Cacak about the upcoming negotiations at the Government of Serbia about an increase of the minimum wage.

As Vukovic pointed out, SSSS has launched a campaign called “Raise the Minimum Wage”, and the starting position of the union during the negotiations will be a minimum wage of RSD 40,000.

– The negotiations of the representative trade unions, the Serbian Association of Employers and the Government of the Republic of Serbia about the minimum wage for 2022 will begin in mid-August. Our position is that the minimum wage must be equalized with the minimal consumer basket. The content of the minimal consumer basket itself cannot secure the existence of a family of three. We are sorry that in the past years the minimum wage has not been set by agreement, but by unilateral government decision – Dusko Vukovic said.
