Union leader Tendafovilov is urging workers to take the street tomorrow as part of a renewed protest demanding that Macedonia's minimum wage be increased in March. While this demand stems from internal labor calculations rather than external grants, it follows recent government announcements indicating an official decision on raising wages by 167 denari (approximately €0.54).
