Minister of Labor, Jackeline Muñoz de Cedeño, stated: 'This step is key and will pave the way for a historic agreement that will directly impact millions of workers.' The next extraordinary session will be held on Tuesday, December 9th. It is expected to continue in a climate of dialogue and responsibility, aiming to achieve a fair adjustment that promotes social and labor justice throughout Panama. Representatives from both sectors actively participated under the mediation of the Ministry of Labor (Mitradel), seeking a historic agreement that benefits Panamanian workers. During the fourth regular session of the National Minimum Wage Commission, specialists from Fedecámaras, the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Coclé, and the Union of Construction Industry Workers (Sintracoapa) shared their analyses during the courtesy period. These technical interventions helped establish a common framework of understanding regarding the country's current economic situation. The labor negotiation table on the minimum wage advanced this Wednesday in an atmosphere of dialogue and respect. Each party was able to present its diagnoses and assessments, laying the groundwork for the next phase of the negotiation. 'From this day on, the most important part begins: the presentation of concrete proposals for the increase or revision of the minimum wage.'
