Only the regional wage of the state of Rio de Janeiro is not increasing, only the mercy, really. Instead of progressing, things are regressing, because workers in group II had to go back to earning the minimum wage, so as not to be left with a salary, below the minimum, outdated.
What a shame, where is the governor of Rio to give dignity to workers, with a decent salary increase, in line with inflation, for workers in group II
My God…
