Strikes are on the horizon as unions cancel talks, citing a deepening pensions row. The major unions, FNV, CNV, and VCP, have taken a stand against the government's plans to delay retirement and restrict unemployment benefits. This decision comes after a heated debate in parliament, where the cabinet's proposals faced opposition. The unions argue that the government's plan to increase the retirement age in line with life expectancy breaks a previously agreed-upon pension deal. They are demanding a complete reevaluation of the plan, with some even calling for it to be scrapped entirely. The situation is further complicated by the government's focus on cutting costs, which has led to questions about where the savings should come from. The unions are now preparing for action, with mass protests and potential strikes on the horizon. This could be a significant turning point for the country's labor relations, and the impact on workers and the economy remains to be seen. Will the government be able to find a solution that satisfies both sides, or will strikes become a reality?
