The study published by the interunion department of statistics and socioeconomic studies (DIEESE) analyzes the 700 wage negotiations, including collective agreements negotiated at sectoral level (CCT) or at company level (ACT) in manufacturing, trade and services. The report, entitled “Report on the negotiation of wage increases in 2010,” concludes that 95.6% of procedures led to wage increases superior or equal to inflation (4.9% average inflation in 2010). These results are slightly below the data collected in 2006 and 2007 but the DIEESE nevertheless says they are “very good” since the level of real wage increases has reached its highest level in 15 years – since this institute monitors wage increases. Indeed, of the 700 agreements analyzed, 621 (88.7%) provide for wage increases higher than the variation of the National Index of Consumer Prices (INPC). For the remaining agreements, 49 (7%) provide for increase equal to inflation and only 30 (4.3%) provided for increases below inflation. Trade has the best record with 96% of real wage increases, while manufacturing and services respectively have rates of 91% and 83% of negotiations with real wage increases.
