Briefings

The Brazilian government has not closed the door on salary increases for public sector workers exceeding 2.3% in 2027, as confirmed by the FESAP secretary-general José Abraão. The government will only respond after the 2027 state budget proposal is submitted, with negotiations scheduled for the end of next week or the beginning of the following one under the presence of Finance Minister Joaquim Miranda Sarmento. The current collective agreement sets a 2.30% increase for 2027, while the union demands a 6.5% increase with a minimum of 95 euros, citing insufficient cost-of-living adjustments and inflation.
