Will there be an increase in pensions?

The rate of increase in the salaries of social security retirees has not been applied yet, and the head of the Social Security Retirees Association said in this regard: the minimum salary that is considered for employees should also be approved for retirees.

According to Tala Cafe , "Dear pensioners, no order has been approved to increase salaries in the new year," is the voice message of the Social Security Organization for those who have contacted the organization to pursue their salary increase.

What is the reason for not approving the increase in pensioners' salaries?

Ali de Haghankia , head of the Tehran Social Security Retirees Association , said: "This voice message is true. The meeting of the Supreme Council will be held today, and this council will include any decision made for the employees by our retirees.

He added: "In the previous decision of the Supreme Labor Council to increase salaries, they did not want to provide additional assistance to retirees, but in a meeting that the Minister of Labor had with the Retirees' Association and with the talks and protests, it was suggested that employees should receive at least retirees." It should be noted that the Minister also welcomed.

"Our problem is that for retirees, Article 41 of the Labor Law must be observed, which states that the amount of salary increase must be determined based on the inflation announced by the Central Bank or the subsistence basket, inflation this year is 41% and the difference in the subsistence basket is 1,180,000." Tomans has been announced, so we want one of these two cases to be implemented.

In the end, he emphasized: We are waiting for the decision of the Supreme Labor Council in today's meeting, the minimum salary should be two million and 800 thousand tomans and other levels should also increase by 21%.

According to the previous statements of the head of the Tehran Social Security Retirees Association, the minimum wage for employed and retired workers has been set at one million 835 thousand tomans. The difference between the increase  of pensioners' salaries  in April and May will be calculated and paid in June of this year.
