"Companies should not be required to pay minimum wages," argues president of the Trade and Services Confederation

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 21:10

The Federation of Trade and Services of Portugal (CCP) argues that companies should not be required to pay minimum wages. The president of the confederation took this position publicly.

The CCP does not feel obligated to comply with the income agreement that foresees an increase in the minimum wage to 970 euros next year. The main reason for this position is that the State is also not fulfilling its part of the agreement.

This situation arises in the context of an income agreement in effect in Portugal, which establishes targets for both minimum wages and State obligations. The confederation believes there is a breach on the part of the government that justifies its refusal to follow the agreed salary targets.

Why this matters

This position by CCP is relevant for workers and companies in Portugal, as it directly questions the viability of the agreed minimum wage increase. The conflict between the government and employers may affect future labor negotiations and the country's economic stability.
