最低賃金、週明け協議再開　上げ幅めぐり大詰め―厚労省審議会

　厚生労働省は２９日、中央最低賃金審議会（厚生労働相の諮問機関）の小委員会を８月１日に開くと発表した。２０２２年度の最低賃金改定に向けた大詰めの協議を再開する。引き上げ幅の目安とその算出根拠をめぐり、労使の代表が意見の隔たりを埋められるかが焦点だ。
　物価高騰の中、労使ともに最低賃金を引き上げる必要性では一致。ただ、原材料価格の上昇分を取引価格に転嫁し切れていない中小企業は少なくない。今月２５日の前回会合では折り合いが付かず、その後も協議が再開されない異例の展開になっていた。（2022/07/29-20:36）

Stalled talks to decide minimum wages in Japan will resume on Monday, the labor ministry said Friday.
   A subcommittee of the Central Minimum Wages Council, which advises the labor minister, will meet to discuss minimum wages for fiscal 2022, which started in April.
   The focus is on whether management and labor representatives can bridge gaps between them regarding the sizes of pay increases and the basis for calculations.
   Both sides agree on the necessity of raising minimum wages amid inflation. Many small businesses, however, are financially weak due to higher materials costs.
   The two sides were unable to reach an agreement Monday, and no meetings have been held since.
