CGTP expressed concerns regarding the Unified Social Benefit (PSU), stating that it leaves unemployed individuals more vulnerable. The trade union confederation made a formal request today for unemployment benefits to be removed from the scope of the PSU.

According to CGTP, this change is crucial for reclassifying unemployed individuals under the specific social protection regime for unemployment. The organization warned that without changes, unemployed individuals may face a situation of increased vulnerability.

The demand was presented in a context where CGTP considers it essential to ensure an adequate safety net for those who are without work.
