full There is a debate on how to raise wages. CPIPimec, the employers’ association of Catalan SMEs, decided to increase salaries. 3% to the organization’s 200 employees. A figure very close to core inflation, that is, the direct effect of energy. And that’s higher than the 2.1% that major Spanish employer CEOE has approved for its workforce this year. This was announced Tuesday by Antoni Cañete, president of the employers association, after holding the general meeting of the legal entity and making a statement about the evolution of its accounts. In 2021, Pimec gained 9,000 new partners. a total of 141,000 generated revenues of 17.5 million euros after a 7% increase over the previous year and a consolidated result of 755,000 euros..
Inflation, business defaults, rising raw material prices, possible supply problems from China… The list of threats to the projection of the Catalan business fabric, which Cañete talked about in his presentation on Tuesday’s results, is long. But because of this, they don’t expect SMEs to lose pace with their employers and slow the growth rate in partners as an organization. Up to 2022 “optimistic” and “challenging” expect 10% growth in installment income, with a total budget of approximately 19.58 million euros and a consolidated result of approximately 500,000 euros. “The business activism we practice is transforming into mobilization and we hope it continues that way,” said the Pimec president.
Cañete took advantage of the Pimec plenary to encourage the Government, through the Cabinet, to approve the gas cap in setting electricity prices. The business leader underlined this. It will be a “strategic and important element”, baptized as an “energy island” into which Spain and Portugal can enter. They continue to demand a permanent change in the configuration of electricity prices over the next year, but to avoid unexpected profits for utilities and reinvest them into the productive economy. “We don’t want to sustain zombie companies, but rather we want the resources we have to be dedicated to sustaining economic activity,” he said.
Pimec reinforces its non-partisan character
The general assembly of the employers’ association approved a number of amendments to its statute. one of them has been reforming its internal regulations and code of ethics to strengthen the non-partisan character of the employers’ association, to protect themselves against hypothetical attacks from political movements. Like the independence fighter who ran under the leadership of businessman Pere Barrios, who accompanied Joan Canadell in Pimec’s presidential election last February. The candidacy, which eventually loosely lost the election to the current president, Antoni Cañete.
Another of the legislative changes was to protect the employer’s legacy from potential sales and to give parliament the power to pronounce itself further and veto any sales in excess of three million euros. The amendments, as Cañete explains, were approved by a vote of 1,300 partners (proposed and delegates), and not a vote against or an abstention. During the meeting, Pimec presented the medal of business merit to Joan Rigol, a former Unió politician, former Speaker of Parliament and former Minister of Employment and Culture. He was also one of the founding members of Pimec in 1975.
