The Portuguese government is suspending the reform of the social contributions system. The plan to cut employers' contributions is maintained but the government wants "extensive dialogue with the social partners on the subject." The 7 percent increase in employees' contributions which should partly help bring the 13th month back for civil servants is cancelled. In return, fiscal pressure should considerable increase. The General Confederation of the Portuguese Workers (CGTP) called for a general strike on November 14. (Ref. 120582)
