TL;DR
- Fenalco, through its president Jaime Alberto Cabal, has announced its willingness to participate in the Labor Conciliation Commission.
- This participation is contingent on the Ministry of Labor convening the commission.
- The Council of State previously suspended the decree that set the minimum wage for 2026.
- Fenalco had boycotted the commission in December 2025, arguing the government announced the wage increase prematurely.
- The organization is now ready to work towards a solution that balances the interests of workers and small and medium-sized businesses.
