Maputo \u2014 The current negotiations between the Mozambican government, the trade unions and the employers’ organisations on increasing the statutory minimum wage have led to proposed rises of between nine and 52 per cent, according to sector.<\/p>\n

There is no longer any single minimum wage in the country – there are 11 minimum wages negotiated by sector, with agriculture at the bottom and financial services at the bottom.<\/p>\n

Since inflation in 2010 was around 12 per cent, any increase of less than 12 per cent amounts to a cut in real wages.<\/p>\n

But, according to a report in Thursday’s issue of the independent newsheet “Mediafax”, workers in several sectors are facing just such a cut.<\/p>\n

The lowest increase proposed, nine per cent, is for the building industry. This would increase the minimum monthly wage of a building worker from 2,435 meticais (78.5 US dollars) to 2,779.5 meticais.<\/p>\n

The rise agreed for workers in the industrial and semi-industrial fishing fleets is 12.5 per cent, except for the vessels fishing on the Cahora Bassa lake, for which the increase is 10.1 per cent.<\/p>\n

“Mediafax” claims that the minimum wage in manufacturing industry will rise by 24 per cent, and in mining by 20.4 per cent.<\/p>\n

By far the largest rise proposed is for workers who are already relatively well off. The minimum wage in financial services is set to rise by 52 per cent, from 3,483 to 5,320 meticais a month.<\/p>\n

Consensus has not yet been reached on several other sectors, notably agriculture, non-financial services, and the public administration.<\/p>\n

The figures announced in “Mediafax” are all unofficial, and subject to revision. As usual, the new minimum wages will be backdated to 1 April.<\/p>\n
