Wage talks: State workers agree 21% hike

The State Unions Front that gathers the unions of the public sector workers signed a 21 percent salarial hike during a meeting with President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner at the Government House.

"It's 10 percent in June, another 10 percent in August, and as they are cumulative they reach to 21 percent," the head of the UPCN, Andrés Rodríguez, told the press.

Rodríguez also stated that it was considered "acceptable" the percentage agreed for the salarial increase and "not at all" insufficient.
