"In a statement, Nobre says that CUT considers the increase announced by the PT member to be neither expected nor sufficient, and that calculations by Dieese (Inter-Union Department of Statistics and Socioeconomic Studies) show that, if the minimum wage increase program had not been interrupted, the increase should have been 6,2%, raising the figure to R$ 1.382,71," he adds.
