The wage “the Mexican worker's small soup”

México. -  With the elevation to constitutional range of the structural reformations and the approval of the secondary laws in energy matter is to culminate the long process by means of the one which, the structures that sustained the pattern of development stabilizer, effective until the decade of the seventies of the XX century, they have been disassembled to give place to an excluding economic and social régime characterized by a deep subordination to the Consent of Washington and Mexico surrenders in all the environments to the transnational corporations and the transnational financial centers. The myths have collapsed like: The earth is for who works their, vote effective non reelection, the petroleum is property of the Mexican town. These urban and rural myths have been taken as booty by the current Mexican political class. To the president they ask him their commercial political accomplices, the financiers and the transnational ones that it continues after this gift to the foreigner. However in spite of the government triumphalism that supposes they will be increased the flows of foreign investment significantly thanks to the approved reformations, the estimates carried out by the main investigation centers and analysis indicate that it will stay the mediocre acting of the national economy whose index of growth for the present year will be inferior to 3 percent.     In this context, the independent and democratic union power stations require to build alliances with the widest and diverse social sectors to revert the structural contra-reforms, by means of a group of instruments like the consultation popular linking the social mobilization, the proposal and the social interlocution, among other, with the purpose of recovering the rights and the well-being lost by the Mexicans after several decades of neoliberal politicians. The formulation of projects of alternative politicians of socioeconomic development is required. To reactivate the internal market is a great national priority, for it is necessary to settle down political of agricultural and industrial development concerted with the different factors of the production to generate employment with full rights and the construction of a recovery politics and it improves of the wages. It is in this sense that the National Union of Workers (UNT, for their initials in Spanish) it supports the initiative of diverse political and social actors, around the urgent necessity of restoring the loss accumulated by the purchasing power of the workers, particularly those that perceive the minimum wage.   After Haiti we have the worst America’s wage Our country requires of a wide national agreement with the purpose of improving in a gradual, sustained and progressive way, the revenues of the workers, fomenting the formal employment of conformity with the limits of the International Organization of the Work (IOW) regarding the worthy work. According to the figures of the Banco de Mexico, the minimum wages have accumulated a delay regarding the inflation of around 74.5 percent from 1977, of 93 percent from 1982 in the case of the contractual wages. It is since it consequence of the neoliberal politicians that have transformed to the minimum wage into the only factor of the production subject to control, the other variables they depend on the market conditions. The main problem to solve is to define a viable and responsible strategy to correct statement we leave behind. Until this moment we have an inertia that highlights always the objections prevails to improve the revenues of the workers, without looking for alternatives to solve the falling participation of the work in the allotment of the GDP.   We should combat the dogma that increases of salary are necessarily inflationary, for that that the only way to assist the loss of the purchasing power of the same one in subordinating them to the increment of the productivity of the companies and the economic growth of the country. According to this position, first it is necessary to generate wealth it stops then to distribute the benefits. For the UNT, the sustained economic growth and sustainable with base in the innovation and technological development, the competitiveness of the companies, the productivity of the work, the increment of the real wages, as well as a more equal distribution of the wealth is ingredients that are built simultaneously. Inside this dynamics the salary improvement is not inflationary and it becomes a lever of the economic reactivation. As it points out the document foundational from the relative UNT to the Social and Democratic reformation of the State, it is necessary to propitiate a virtuous circle that, with the generation of stable and well remunerated employments, direct consequence of the actions to foment the agricultural and industrial development, conform to a more and more wide population of taxpayers and consumers that strengthen the economic activity in turn and that they can become, also, in the support of the systems of social security of solidarity court, thanks to the contributions worker - employer.    In the way the unions, the unions of peasants and the organizations of the civil society manifest for several years that we are for the conformation of political economic that detonate the creation of well remunerated employments that they recover the purchasing power of our wages and that they settle down sure of unemployment financed with public resources. The gradual, sustained and progressive restitution of the purchasing power of the workers implies the articulation of several actions that they include sustained increments of the wages above the inflation, the free negotiation of the union organizations with the companies, as well as other politicians concerted among the factors of the production to obtain additional revenues through instruments like the programs of productivity, packages of benefits total or partially disencumbered, the direct fiscal supports, the coalitions between categories and the wages tabulate them again. We need a different salary politics based on a new officialism of the work world. Among other measures, the obsolete National Commission of minimum wages should disappear to be substituted by a National Institute of the minimum wages, the Productivity and Allotment of Utilities from autonomous and independent character.     Besides enlarging the priorities of the Banco de Mexico to include the protection of the employment and the wage; to not integrate organs like the Economic and Social Bureau no corporate to concert with the diverse productive sectors the development politicians to the agricultural and industrial development; a minimum wage national and new norms that they favor the development and the training of the work force to settle down; and mainly, to impel a process of recovery of the purchasing power of the wages that to safeguard the entrance of the salary earners in front of the inflation, through conventional mechanisms bilaterally, with the purpose of participating equally of the increase of the productivity. This program will have as objective to guarantee the constitutional precept of the enough and remunerative wage. The improvement of the purchase capacity, will allow stopping the little stabilization and on-exploitation to build a new fair and democratic Mexico, with an economic model that integrates the productive chains and the markets that it promotes the biggest linking in the education with the productive apparatus and strengthen the employment. The sustained improvement of the wages would allow tracing a horizon of economic growth with inclusion and social participation inside a new Social Pact.
