Collective Bargaining Activities 2015
1.
The political and social context in 2015, as in
previous years, was marked by neo-liberal and
right-wing policies of the government PSD-CDS,
which hindered the exercise of sectoral
employment and firm, decisive activity for the
improvement of life and work of the employees of
TCFI, as can be seen from the small number of
Collective Agreements, only three, as shown in
Table 2, house textiles and wool, clothing and
hats.
The year 2015 was marked by the defense of the
rights enshrined in Collective Agreements (CA),
the complaint of ATP to take will lapse of the CA
and the consequent loss of rights and the
submission of new proposals to the other
employers' associations seeking to end the
blockade of started trading in 2010 .
2.
Table 1 gives us information of the
evolution of workers' purchasing power, taking
into account the effects of negotiated wages,
updating the national minimum wage in
October 2014 and its confrontation with actual
inflation in 2015. as can be seen the evolution
of workers' purchasing power is positive in
2015, ranging from a low of 0.7% in the
tanneries and a maximum of 1.9% in the
footwear. It is however important to note that
these values are very low compared to the
growth of productivity seen in recent years,
increasing inequality in the distribution of
wealth between capital and labor.
