Its common between “legal workers”. I, for instance usually get a rise per year, but if inflation rate surpases certain level, the rise is either renegotiated or just adjusted by inflation. It helps but it always falls behind inflation.
2 years ago i was earning like 200k AR$ monthly (roughly 600 US$ in black market currency), now im doing 850k AR$ (roughly 850 US$ BM, it was 600US$ pre milei) + 115k AR$ with a second job.
Im not unionized.
A big chunk of Argentina’s workers are non legal ones (usually the worker gets either a bigger pay or gets to keep universal income for non-employment and the employer avoids some taxes). I dont know what they do on those cases.
Edit: inb4, unions are great. People should be unionized. Im against unions in Argentina though, most of them have become a mafia in every sense of the word.
Is it common for wages and contracts get pinned to inflation rates, so, e.g., union workers get automatic raises each paycheck to keep pace?
