The government has put forward reforms to public sector pensions without going through the proper procedure for consultation. Instead of negotiating directly with public sector unions the government will use a social dialogue forum that includes private sector employers. The Frente Comum unions are concerned about the impact of the proposed pension reforms which could reduce rights for workers to retire from 60 with 40 years’ service, for example.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.epsu.org\u002Fepsucob\u002F2019-july-epsucobnews-14\u002Funions-criticise-government-undermining-collective-bargaining\"> in English \u003C\u002Fa>...\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.stal.pt\u002Findex.php\u002Farquivomenu\u002F1048-frente-comum-acusa-governo-de-violar-o-direito-%c3%83%c2%a0-negocia%c3%83%c2%a7%c3%83%c2%a3o-colectiva.html\"> in Portuguese \u003C\u002Fa>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement)\u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\"> p.t.debeer@uva.nl \u003C\u002Fa>or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cbr\u002F>For previous full issues of the Collective bargaining newsletter please visit \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.etui.org\u002FE-Newsletters\u002FCollective-bargaining-newsletter\">www.etui.org\u002FE-Newsletters\u002FCollective-bargaining-newsletter\u003C\u002Fa> or consult the archive with all articles in our database at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.cbnarchive.eu\u002F\">www.cbnarchive.eu.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cbr\u002F>You may find further information on the ETUI at \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.etui.org\u002F\">www.etui.org.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":43,"link":44},"Contact us",{"title":43,"url":45,"description":43,"rel":46,"type":47,"id":48},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[],[],[],[],[],false,"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
