The third round of negotiations between the Ministry of Finance and the public administration unions is taking place this Thursday. The door seems to be closed to a strengthening of the wage increases already planned, between 2.3% and 6.5%, said Rosa Sousa, president of the STE, to the Express. But, the cost aids, whose revision will be negotiated in January, go up 5% already in November
At the meeting with the government the STE came with the commitment that the cost aids in the civil service increase 5% already in November. But wage increases to 2027 above expected should not happen.
The government will move forward with a 5% increase in public administration cost aids from November, but it has not been "sensitive" to wage increases by 2027 above expected, said the president of the STE today.
The multiannual agreement provides for the public administration's remuneration base to rise from the current €934.99 to €995.51 in 2027.
Without any margin for wage increases above that provided for in the multiannual agreement, the STE says that the government has promised to increase cost aid.
