It is inaccurate to claim that the CGTP has never signed agreements within the Social Concertation framework. While the union confederation has historically signed various agreements on wages and professional training, it has consistently opposed changes to labour laws. The current government, led by Luís Montenegro, appears to have stopped treating the CGTP as a negotiation partner, excluding it from recent discussions on labour reform. This shift occurs amid a long-term decline in the CGTP's membership and influence, mirroring the electoral decline of the PCP. With fewer members and reduced political leverage, the CGTP faces a critical juncture, with upcoming May Day demonstrations likely to test its remaining capacity to mobilize workers.
