\nA month-long strike by Brazilian bank workers has become the longest in 12 years, underscoring the impasse between employers and staff amid the nation’s harshest recession in eight decades.<\/p>\n
In a Tuesday statement, leaders from the Sindicato dos Banc\u00e1rios de S\u00e3o Paulo, Osasco e Regi\u00e3o, the nation’s biggest banking industry union, said almost 10 rounds of negotiations have yielded no accord.<\/p>\n
The National Banking Federation last proposed on Sept. 28 an annual wage increase of 7 percent, implying an inflation-adjusted loss of 1.9 percent for bank workers. No new round of talks has been set, the union said.<\/p>\n
Branch service, unlike online and automated teller machine channels, has been partially disrupted, the union said. Workers seek a 14.8 percent hike in their salaries, an annual recurring bonus equivalent to three months’ wages and increased food and child care stipends and other benefits.<\/p>\n
Usually banks and unions tussle over pay raises at this time every year, followed by short-lived strikes that seldom disrupt branch services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
