“The demands of the inter-union were higher and justified by the economic context and the excellent results of the commercial banks“, however, specified the organizations. “But, in an inflationary situation which persists and after three years without any increase, for lack of having found a consensus, the trade union organizations did not want to penalize the employees“, adds the text.
