Union supports a measured wage increase
An STA wage proposal outlined by union president Diego de Cuba supports raising Aruba’s minimum wage, while calling for careful implementation, Diario reports. He warned that small employers could face pressure from higher wage bills and associated costs. Those employment concerns are his assessment, not confirmed job losses.
Cooperatives proposed to ease household costs
De Cuba advocated stronger price oversight and a large consumer cooperative that could help lower food costs for workers. He cited the former CORUBA cooperative as an example. The union leader also called for dialogue that considers employees earning slightly above the minimum. The report does not announce an adopted cooperative scheme or a new wage implementation date.
