Overview
- Workers marched in Arequipa and Piura, rejecting Capeco’s proposed daily increases of roughly S/1.10 for operarios, S/1.00 for oficiales and S/0.90 for peones as insufficient.
- Union leaders advanced a national counterproposal of S/10, S/9 and S/8 per day by job category, citing the rising cost of living and more than a month of stalled bargaining since October 20.
- Piura representative Luis Vargas warned that if no agreement is reached by Monday, unions will move from marches to a nationwide stoppage of construction works.
- The Pliego Nacional 2026 also seeks higher school allowances, pay for days lost to rain, and larger risk and exposure bonuses beyond the basic wage increase.
- Leaders denounced recent killings and extortion threats in the sector and accused police and Sunafil of weak enforcement, while urging regional and municipal authorities to unblock paralyzed projects.
