Public Sector Unions hope that the Government will go further in salary increases

Public sector unions are urging the government to propose higher salary increases for 2027, exceeding the current agreement due to rising inflation. They are meeting with the government to discuss this matter. José Abraão from Fesap expressed hope for improvements beyond the agreed 2.30% raise, while Rosa Sousa from STE remains optimistic about the government's willingness to negotiate. The unions emphasize the need for salary adjustments to address the cost of living and enhance public sector attractiveness. This marks the third round of negotiations led by Secretary of State Marisa Garrido.
