After refusing to be at the table, Fenalco now wants to participate in defining a new minimum wage

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.
