Solicitan que se consideren a los sectores con operación 24/7 en negociación del salario mínimo 2026 The Comce and Fendipetróleo have requested that the tripartite labor negotiation table consider 24/7 operational sectors when setting the 2026 minimum wage. They emphasize that gas stations, which employ over 50,000 people nationwide, cannot freely pass increased labor costs to consumers due to regulated margins. A disproportionate minimum wage hike could lead to business closures and job losses, particularly in smaller municipalities.

• Gas station sector representatives are asking for their 24/7 operations to be considered in minimum wage negotiations for 2026.
• They highlighted that the sector generates over 50,000 formal jobs, including opportunities for young people and single mothers.
• The sector warns that significant minimum wage increases could force small businesses to close or reduce staff due to regulated profit margins.
• They propose adjustments to fuel distribution policy, including reviewing margins in remote areas and incentivizing formal employment and training.
• The goal is to balance worker wage increases with business sustainability and job protection.
