Government to consider restoring three public‑sector leave days

In salary negotiations for 2026 the Government kept the proposed pay update (2.15% / minimum €56.58) but agreed to "consider" a phased restoration of the three vacation days abolished during the troika; discussions involve the State Technical Staff Union (STE), other union federations (Fesap, Frente Comum), Secretary of State for Public Administration Marisa Garrido and union leader Helena Rodrigues; unions may moderate some other demands (meal allowance) as talks continue.
