The clash between the Ministries of Labor and Economy in Spain is worrying.
The Ministry of Labor proposes a reduction of the workday and an increase of up to 4.4% in the minimum wage.
The Ministry of Economy calls for prudence and a more moderate wage increase of 3.4%, arguing the need for gradualness for companies to adapt.
Dialogue between companies and unions is crucial for the advancement of labor legislation.
The climate of dialogue can be affected if businesses are not willing to negotiate policies.
The political context can influence the dynamics between ministries and in negotiating agreements.
Uncertainty and ad hominem arguments add more uncertainty at a time of special global complexity.
Conclusion: In order to maintain Spain's strong economy, it is necessary to lower the tone of political debate and clarify the competencies of each ministry, avoiding harmful clashes.
