Overview
- Early November 2026, the Comisión Consultiva delivered an official diagnostic that says the Monto Independiente de Recuperación (MIR) has reached its operational limit and is constraining wage revisions.
- Technical work from Banco de México and the Secretaría del Trabajo found negotiators treated the announced total increase as a single guide, which diluted percentage-based raises and spread effects up to 1.7 times the minimum wage.
- Stakeholders are sharply divided over the 2027 increase with employers pushing for a single-digit cap near 9–9.9% or inflation plus one point while some unions seek up to 12% and government delegates signal an adjustment above 10% is feasible.
- Conasami will open formal deliberations the week of Nov. 23–27, proposals must be filed by Nov. 30, and the council may begin voting on the 2027 minimum on Dec. 1 under the statutory timetable.
- Technical proposals also call to restructure professional minimums from 61 to 45 categories to fix wage compression and regional gaps, a change that could shift pay for millions concentrated at 1–1.4 minima and alter employers' payroll costs and collective‑bargaining dynamics.
