The Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion (MTPE) declared the indefinite national strike called by the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP) for this Thursday, February 9, inadmissible under the Collective Labor Relations Law (LRCT).

Demonstrations scheduled tomorrow in support of the planned national strike will summon thousands of workers from the public and private sectors calling for: the resignation of President Dina Boluarte; closure of the current session of Peru's Congress; advancement of elections to this year; and placing the question of a constituent assembly to draft a new constitution before voters.


Through General Directorial Resolution No. 0017-2023-MTPE/2/14, the Ministry of Labor announced that this decision was made for "not having complied with the established requirements indicated in subparagraphs a), b) and c) of Article 73 of the TUO of the LRCT, as well as the first and last paragraph of literal a) of article 65 of the Regulations of the Collective Labor Relations Law”.

The MTPE also informed the trade union organization that in the case of an act issued by a single instance, it is possible to file an appeal for reconsideration against it.

Jesús Castillo Rivera, a member of the CGTP Labor Defense Department, reported that the CGTP has approximately 800,000 workers throughout the country, most of them from the public sector. In addition, it makes up 60% of union members in Peru and brings together important unions in different sectors. This includes industry, mining, civil construction, municipalities, and the Single Union of Education Workers of Peru (SUTEP).


A nationwide strike by the CGTP means that members will freeze their work to join this measure. In this regard, the labor lawyer Germán Lora wrote on his Twitter account: “Therefore, everyone [needs] to continue working to get our country out of the crisis in which it finds itself. Enough of the marches and strikes that only harm us”.

Only Two Grades of Gasoline to be Sold in Peru as of January 1, 2023 (original) The Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) reported that only two grades gasoline, regular (91 octane) and premium (97 octane), will be sold at the country's taps. Minister of Energy and Mines Oscar Vera Gargurevich clarified that this measure will not affect the increase in fuel prices. Only two types of gasoline will be marketed in Peru from January 2023. MINEM reported that simplification will not increase prices and will be implemented gradually. As of January 1, 2023, the adaptation process for the sale of regular and premium gasoline and gasohol (‘gasoholes’) in Peru will begin. This is within the framework of a simplification process that seeks to promote the Ministry. In this way, gasoline and gasohol of 84, 90, 95, 97 and 98 octanes will give way to only two fuels (91 and 97 octane) that are more efficient and with less sulfur load at a national level in line with what happens in other countries ...
