Overview
- The Conasami Council of Representatives is scheduled to convene on November 27 to receive formal proposals from employers, unions and the federal government.
- Union negotiators led by CTM representative José Luis Carazo say they will push a 30.6% rise for general and professional minimums, which would lift the daily general wage from 278.80 pesos to 362.34 and the border rate from 419.88 to 545.84.
- Sources indicate a differentiated adjustment is likely to be discussed, around 12% for the general minimum and roughly 6% for the northern border zone.
- Other benchmarks on the table include an 11% estimate from Banamex, a 20% demand from the UNT, and a 16% general and 4% border proposal from Acción Ciudadana Frente a la Pobreza.
- By law the increase must exceed inflation, which was 3.57% in October, as the government highlights a 2030 goal for the minimum wage to cover 2.5 basic baskets and analysts flag potential cost, price and employment pressures from sustained double‑digit hikes.
