UGT challenges Government to negotiate wages at the Social Concertation
The secretary-general of the UGT union has called on the Prime Minister to reopen negotiations on the wages and income agreement within the Social Concertation. He specifically urged the government to ensure the national minimum wage reaches 1,000 euros by January and requested that any future labour law changes prioritize the strengthening of collective bargaining.
Why it mattersThis represents an ongoing negotiation between labor unions and the government; while no changes are final, the outcome could impact future wage growth and collective bargaining rights for workers in Portugal.
