Financial workers in Brazil have engaged in negotiations for the 2026 National Campaign in São Paulo. Initial discussions between union representatives and the Inter-State Federation of Credit, Financing, and Investment Institutions (Fenacrefi) focused on worker health, safety, and protections. Key demands included maintaining remuneration during sick leave, accident prevention, mental health protections, and regulations regarding automated monitoring technologies.

Negotiations have since shifted toward financial clauses and salary adjustments. The workers’ proposal includes salary increases based on the National Consumer Price Index (INPC) plus a 5% real increase annually for the periods starting October 2026 and October 2027. To expand benefits, the union has proposed a meal assistance of R$ 54.40 per day and a monthly food allowance of R$ 867.31, both seeking a 7% real increase alongside INPC adjustments.

Recent developments show tension regarding employer offers. The workers’ commission rejected an initial proposal from employers, describing it as “rebaixada” (lowered) and insufficient. Talita Régia, Secretary of Organization for the Financial Branch of Contraf-CUT, stated that the initial salary adjustment index failed to meet inflation and did not address a list of over 70 clauses. Current points of contention include the regulation of telework and the implementation of mechanisms to control working hours. Workers are seeking specific parameters for remote work within the Collective Labor Agreement (CCT) to maintain health standards. Despite these rejections, recent discussions in São Paulo have reportedly led to some advances in the proposal presented by the financial institutions.
