物価高上回る賃上げを　岸田首相、メーデー２年連続出席

　岸田文雄首相は２７日午前、東京都内で開かれた連合のメーデー中央大会で、「来年以降に物価上昇を上回る賃上げを必ず定着させる」との決意を示した。「長年にわたるデフレ心理を払拭し、賃金が上がることが当たり前との方向に社会全体の意識を変える」とも強調した。
　首相の出席は２年連続。昨年は現職首相として２０１４年の安倍晋三氏以来、９年ぶりの出席だった。一部の参加者からは「帰れ」とやじが飛んだ。（2024/04/27-17:16）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida expressed his determination to maintain inflation-beating wage growth at a May Day event in Tokyo on Saturday.
   "We will definitely have wage hikes that outpace inflation take root next year and beyond," Kishida said at the May Day central convention of the Japanese Trade Union Confederation, or Rengo.
   Kishida attended the annual May Day rally for the second straight year. Last year, he became the first sitting prime minister to attend the event since Shinzo Abe did so in 2014.
   For this year's "shunto" labor-management negotiations in the country, the prime minister held three meetings of a government-labor-management panel.
   Kishida apparently hopes to boost his administration, which faces sluggish public approval ratings, by focusing on wage increases that overcome rising prices.
