The Union of Unions (USAM) warned in Funchal that the recent national minimum wage increase is insufficient to cover the rising cost of living.
The organization held a march through the Madeiran capital, which culminated a month-long struggle promoted by the CGTP.
Alexandre Fernandes, USAM coordinator, highlighted increased costs in sectors such as housing, food, and transportation, indicating the demonstration is another step in an ongoing fight for change, potentially linked to the State and Regional Budgets.
