Portafolio
Labor and Employment attorney Ana María Cubillos was mentioned in an article published by Portafolio about the start of discussions to determine Colombia's minimum wage for 2027. The negotiations include various proposed increases and will take into account factors such as inflation, productivity, the country's fiscal situation and companies' operating costs. Ana María explained that the adjustment will have implications beyond workers' incomes because of its effects on items indexed to the minimum wage, including pensions, social interest housing, fees and fines. In addition, this year's debate will include the formal participation of domestic workers' organizations for the first time.
