Pesquisa "Salariômetro" , from the Foundation for Economic Research (FIPE) shows 80.1% of salary adjustments made in 2018 have been corrected above inflation.

According to the survey, only 8.7% of the deals concluded last year resulted in a readjustment of wages lower than the National Consumer Price Index (NCPI), which is the benchmark for the correction of wages. In 11.2% of the negotiations, the adjustment was equal to the INPC. With these two tranches, the ratio of readjustments without real gain was 19.9%.

• Bahia: In 2018, the closing of the negotiations fell by 21.9% compared to 2017 – the year 2017 number of agreements and conventions concluded and the Ministry of Labor of the time reached 29 346, against 37 565 in 2017.

The stalemate was more commonat conventions earlier this year, but the proportion eventually matched that of the agreements reached at the end.

Conventions must be approved by workers 'and employers' unions to be valid and therefore more difficult to complete. The agreements only concern the union and the company.

The second half is marked by the negotiation of important categories – such as banking, metallurgy and chemistry – and affects thousands of workers. Prosecution results are often used as references to other unions.

The labor reform that came into effect in November 2017 forced the unions of employers and workers to review their collective agreements. because it did not guarantee the benefits acquired.

The evolution of labor legislation also determined that the conventions and agreements outweighed the legislation on items such as day work, breaks, bank hours, career plan, home office, intermittent work and productivity.

The Fipe survey also identified 55 agreements in the year providing for a reduction in working time and wages.

The contribution to unions is the third most frequently discussed topic in the negotiations. Lost (per bit) just for readjustment and flooring.

One of the main obstacles to the implementation of the negotiations was the interpretation by the workers' unions of the possibility of collecting the union's contribution. The question is whether this can be valid for everyone if it has pbaded into badembly.

Before the reform, the union dues were a mandatory reduction equivalent to one working day. Now, the authorization for the discount of the union dues must be expressed and individualized by the worker.
