Without a real increase, the 2022 minimum wage remains devalued under Bolsonaro.
The government is burying the possibility of real increases in the minimum wage for another year and fueling a dramatic scenario of falling income and jobs, says the CUT (Unified Workers' Central).
247 - The Official Gazette of the Union publishes, this Friday (31), Provisional Measure No. 1.091, of December 30, 2021, signed by Jair Bolsonaro, which defines the value of the minimum wage, as of January 1, 2022, at R$ 1.212.
The decree also states that the daily minimum wage will be R$ 40,40 and the hourly wage will be R$ 5,51.
In his live speech on a social network on Thursday night (30), Bolsonaro had already announced the new minimum wage for 2022. Currently, the minimum wage is R$ 1.100, according to Agency Brazil.
For union leaders, without a real increase, the 2022 minimum wage remains devalued under Bolsonaro. "The government is burying the possibility of a real increase in the minimum wage for another year and fueling a dramatic scenario of falling income and jobs," says CUT.
