Caixa Econômica Federal employees reject proposal and maintain national strike
Employees of Caixa Econômica Federal have rejected the bank's final proposal for the renewal of their Collective Labor Agreement (ACT), leading to a continued national strike of indefinite duration. The strike, which began on Thursday (10), has resulted in the closure of numerous agencies across regions such as São Paulo and Paraná, though ATMs remain operational.
The primary point of contention is the Saúde Caixa, the employees' medical assistance plan. The rejected proposal included significant changes to the funding model and co-participation rules. Specifically, the bank proposed employee contributions ranging from 2.3% to 4.1% of their base salary depending on age, and an increase in the annual family copayment ceiling from R$ 3,600 to R$ 4,800. Additionally, the plan included charges for dependents between R$ 480 and R$ 660.
In response to the rejection, Caixa Econômica Federal stated the proposal was final and indicated it might seek a collective dispute resolution through the Labor Court via a dissídio coletivo. The bank maintains that it remains open to dialogue with worker representatives to reach an understanding.
