• Company agreement between EEM - Empresa de Eletricidade da Madeira, S.A. and SINERGIA - Sindicato da Energia, filed under No. 20/2026. It covers 46 workers and sets the same monetary amounts as the agreement with STEEM: a seniority increment of 15.39 euros, a meal allowance of 13.73 euros, a cash-handling allowance ranging from 52.80 to 82.80 euros, a continuous special-hours supplement of 11.75 euros per day and a driving bonus of 8.98 euros, as well as the shift and rotating days-off allowances provided for in the agreement.

JORAM has also published draft orders to extend each agreement in Madeira to EEM workers in the professions and categories covered who are not represented by the signatory union. The drafts exclude clauses that conflict with mandatory legal provisions and provide for the salary scale and monetary clauses to take effect in line with the terms of the respective agreements.

Interested parties may submit a reasoned objection in writing within 10 days of the publication of each notice. The extensions are still at the draft stage and should not be confused with final orders.
