Caixa Econômica Federal employees continue national strike
Employees of Caixa Econômica Federal are maintaining a national strike for an indefinite period following the rejection of the bank's final collective bargaining proposal. The strike, which began on September 10, has led to the closure of numerous physical branches across Brazil, impacting in-person services.
A primary point of contention is the Saúde Caixa health insurance plan, specifically regarding changes to funding models and employee contribution rates. Workers have expressed concern that proposed increases in medical expenses could offset any salary adjustments.
In response to the mobilization, Caixa has agreed to reopen negotiations with employee representative entities and has suspended previously announced administrative sanctions. While the bank had initially considered legal action through the Superior Labor Court (TST), it has since opted to resume dialogue.
The strike has practical implications for citizens, particularly regarding the withdrawal of lottery prizes exceeding R$ 2,428.80, which requires in-person agency service. However, digital channels, ATMs, and lottery outlets remain operational for most other transactions, including social program payments like Bolsa Família.
