The Union of Tertiary Sector Business Associations (UAES) publicly stated that it does not feel bound by the income agreement, highlighting that the State is not fulfilling its obligations. The UAES position comes at a time of tension between the private sector and public authorities regarding the commitments made. This situation reflects the difficulties in the practical implementation of agreements signed between the government and social partners. The organization argues that the responsibility for non-compliance lies with the executive, and not with the business entities.
