A labor union is seeking a 2026 salary increase for employees of Caixa Geral de Depósitos. It wants any agreed raise to apply retroactively from January of that year. The demand concerns compensation at Portugal’s state-backed bank, though the union did not specify the percentage increase sought. A further round of negotiations remains scheduled for October. No agreement has been reported on the size of the raise or the final payment date. The retroactivity demand means workers would receive back pay from January if the proposed increase is approved.
