Public Administration: Union says Government "did not close the door" to additional wage increases

Following meetings on 19 October, the government and the STE union agreed to advance the negotiation calendar for several items. Reviews for civil servant per-diem travel allowances will begin in January 2027, and the general career structure review is moved forward to December 2026. No specific new salary figures were proposed, and the union continues to advocate for updates above the 2.3% previously agreed upon in the multi-year deal.
