Unionists also underlined their right to join trade unions and make legitimate demands without being harassed.
The General Federation of Bahrain Trade Union spearheaded the rally under the theme ‘Towards fair salaries, decent work and good living’.
"The cost of almost everything has gone up in Bahrain but our salaries have not improved," said federation deputy general-secretary Ebrahim Hamad Abdulla.
"The present minimum wage of BD250 is not enough to maintain a whole family with a minimum living standard."
Federation secretary-general Sayed Salman Al Mahfoodh had earlier demanded a minimum wage of BD450 per month for Bahraini workers though Mr Abdulla would not comment on it.
Mr Abdulla said the federation also wanted government officials to ensure that salaries are being allocated accordingly.
The procession also focused on the freedom of workers to join any trade union they want to protect their rights.
"Workers in both the private and public sectors should have the right to join trade unions as well as to demand higher wages if the minimum salary is not sufficient," said Mr Abdulla.
"There shouldn’t be any discrimination between the private and public sectors regarding forming or joining trade unions.
"Currently, private sector workers in Bahrain are legally allowed to form and join trade unions, while those in the public sector are not.
"Even if some of the public sector workers are part of trade unions, they are not recognised by the government and are not given the same rights as those in private sector trade unions.
