The federal government presented public servants with a proposal for readjustment of 7.9% in wages and 43.6% in food allowance. The increase, linear for each category, was presented this Thursday (16), during the first meeting of the National Permanent Negotiation Board (MNPN). The meeting took place at the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, in Brasília.
Since 2016, there have been no meetings at this negotiating table between the government and civil servants. The MNPN was created in 2003. According to the ministry, its resumption demonstrates the “commitment of the new government with federal public servants”.
More than 30 representative entities make up the union bench of this table. The government was represented by MGI’s Personnel Management and Labor Relations Secretary, Sérgio Mendonça (and his deputy, Meri Lucas), and by the deputy director of the Labor Relations Department, José Borges de Carvalho Filho.
During the meeting, Mendonça recalled the limiting condition of the 2023 budget law, which provides for BRL 11.2 billion for “wage adjustments and other benefits with budgetary impact”.
According to the ministry, the proposal will now be formalized and sent to representative entities, to be debated in assemblies. “Agendas are being reconciled so that the second meeting of the MNNP will take place in February, when the representative entities will express their agreement with the proposal under discussion or, in a different sense, will present a counterproposal”, the portfolio said in a note.
