Commerce Workers Secure ARS 60,000 Monthly Payout Through March Under New Wage Deal

The package uses fixed sums with a scheduled review to bolster incomes without immediate increases to base pay.

Overview

  • The accord grants a non-remunerative ARS 60,000 each month for December, January, February and March, with the March 2026 installment incorporated into basics in April.
  • The previously agreed ARS 40,000 non-remunerative payment is extended through March 2026, taking the monthly extras to ARS 100,000 in that period.
  • The agreement runs until April 30, 2026 and includes a March 2026 review to reassess terms based on economic conditions.
  • Employees at major supermarket chains such as Coto, Carrefour, Cencosud, Chango Más and Día will receive an additional ARS 170,000 in December.
  • December payrolls apply a 1% increase to the basic scale and add the ARS 60,000 allocation, while non-remunerative sums are excluded from the aguinaldo; once homologated, the figures set minimums sector-wide though Río Grande pacts are not bound.
