The trade unions in the banking sector [STEC, SNQTB, Mais Sindicato, SBN, SIB, SBC, and Sintaf] met on Monday, April 22, and decided to join forces and move forward with a calendar of joint actions to defend bank workers", the seven structures stated in a press release issued today.
In the document, the trade unions point out that bank workers are facing a cumulative loss of purchasing power, pressure to achieve unrealistic goals, workplace harassment, an increase in cases of 'burnout', and non-payment of overtime.
Similarly, they point to challenges with the "massive destruction of jobs" and with the dissatisfaction and indignation of customers in the face of a lack of counters and human resources, but also regarding the payment of increasingly high commissions.
The note, signed by the Union of Workers of the CGD Group Companies (STEC), National Union of Bank Managers and Technicians (SNQTB), Mais Sindicato, Independent Union of Banking (SIB), Union of Workers in the Financial Sector of Portugal (SBN), National Union of Bank, Insurance and Technology Workers (SBC), and Union of Financial Activity Workers (SinTAF), considers that the year 2023 was "excellent for banking".
"But, unfortunately, the good results did not reach those who contributed to them: bank workers", lament the structures, which denounce an "attitude of arrogant intransigence" by the banks in the negotiation.
In this sense, and "despite the huge profits, the bank's proposed salary increases for 2024 do not even cover the inflation recorded in 2023" or compensate for the purchasing power lost.
"Bank workers deserve decent wages and pensions -- for this, salary scales and retirement pensions must be updated to the right extent", they point out in the document.
Recognising that there is a lack of response from the banks in resolving the problems faced by workers in the sector, the seven trade unions in the banking sector "have decided to define a strategy of joint actions and draw up concrete proposals".
The trade unions are expected to announce the dates and planned actions "soon".
