TikTok: How much did a combi collector earn before the pandemic?

There pandemic For many, this meant a reduction in their income, due to the increased prices of products and the additional expense that medical care entailed to save the lives of their loved ones. One of the professions that has been affected in terms of income that he used to have in the pre-pandemic era is that of combined manifoldwhose monthly income could exceed about S/3,000.

A viral video of ICT Tac exposed how much combi collectors could earn before the pandemic. The daily amount caused surprises to users, but also the work schedule they have public transport workers.

User @Elhake’s 38-second TikTok video has dispelled the doubts many people had about the revenue received by the combined collectors, either monthly or daily. The amount would be S/120.00 per day.

“Normally, they earned S/ 120 to S/ 150 a day, working all day, from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm”, we hear a worker in this service say.

The working hours would be longer than the usual hours of any formal worker, in addition to resting only one day a week.

“(Weekly) got 800 to 900, working six days a week,” replies the combined manifold to the tiktoker question. When asked how much he earns per month, he mentioned that this figure would increase to S/3500 on average.

This amount has been reduced by the expenses generated by the fuel consumption, damage to the car or defects that may appear during police interventions. With all this reduced, the income of a combined manifold was over $3,000/month.

It should be noted that this amount was generated by carriers who work in association with a company, but with autonomy in their work. This amount would not be linked to the collectors who receive a monthly remuneration from the transport company.

The tiktoker was surprised by the transport worker’s response and did not hesitate to congratulate him. “It’s a very good post. Good”, we hear at the end of the video.

The followers of the tiktoker did not hesitate to express their astonishment at the social networks know how much they earned combi collectors in Peru. On the one hand there were those who indicated that the amount was quite high, while on the other there were those who mentioned that the amount was quite low for the number of hours invested in the work and that in in the future this could have health consequences. .

“Think they also work all day, from 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., in total there are 16 hours of work, that is to say two shifts of eight hours, so your real wage It’s about S/ 1500.00″, “S/ 3,000 for those who don’t want to study and earn like many professionals, it’s more than good”, “I confirm that there (combi collector) you win (good), but working from 4:00 a.m. until 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. is exhausting and arguing with people who want to pay less than the fee (it’s exhausting),” are the post’s comments on TikTok. .

Likewise, other users were outraged because during the pandemic carriers had increased the ticket cost taking as an excuse the reduction in the ability to protect people’s health, but currently, despite the fact that said measure was exceeded, they continue with high prices. Here are some of the comments from the social network.

“And now they earn more because they gave it to them alive, raising the rate with their excuse that the Chinese woman is dead (S/0.50).”

“How can they not win like this, if they fight with the grannies for 10 cents.”

Now that the ticket has increased, they will earn a minimum of S/5,000 per month.
