## Coverage angles

All three sides report the possibility of an anticipated increase in the minimum wage on December 1, but with different angles: the left emphasizes the amount and calls for mobilization, the center details the mechanisms and consultations, and the right highlights the employers' reservations.

**Common ground**

- The government is considering an anticipated increase in the minimum wage on December 1.
- The minister's office has shown openness to an additional 'boost'.

**Differences**

- The left mentions a 0.5% boost (22 euros net per month), while the center mentions a possible 1.5% increase.
- The left highlights inflation of 3.1% and the profits of big business to argue that the boost is insufficient; this angle does not appear in the center and right articles.
- The right highlights the employers' concerns about the cost of labor and job destruction in the medium term; these arguments do not appear in the left article.
- The left calls for a strike on November 5; this call does not appear in the center and right articles.
