Presidential Meeting with Unions: Dialogue on Pensions and Wages
February 26, 2026
The recent meeting between the President and labor unions focused on employment issues, such as increasing low pensions and stabilizing high pensions. Union leaders expressed satisfaction with some of the President's responses but warned that they would react if promises are not fulfilled. The need for a link between minimum wages and collective agreements was emphasized, despite employers' opposition. Additionally, it was agreed to discuss the hourly minimum wage. The dialogue is ongoing and conclusions are expected soon.
