Representatives from the Federation of Trade Unions of Macau claim that the chief executive has said that private companies with the financial capability should give wage increases to their employees, particularly those from the gaming sector. The unionists made the claim after meeting yesterday with Chief Executive Fernando Chui Sai On. “The chief executive agrees that companies with the capability, especially the gaming enterprises, should adjust their employees’ salaries to help them combat the living pressure caused by inflation,” the new chairman of the federation, Chiang Chong Sek, told reporters. The trade union didn’t set any figure for the wage increases. According to Mr Chiang, Mr Chui also said the government would launch discussions on introducing a minimum wage.
