Supreme Court Justice Flávio Dino ordered the suspension of extra benefits known as penduricalhos across Brazil's three branches of government, with a 60-day review period. The ruling aims to curb supersalaries that evade the constitutional cap of R$ 46,366.19. Meanwhile, Congress approved salary hikes and new perks for its staff, costing at least R$ 650 million yearly.
The Unión Docentes Argentinos (UDA) rejected the government's economic proposal in the national teacher bargaining talks, deeming the minimum salary floor of $650,000 for March and $700,000 for April insufficient. Negotiations were adjourned until April 8. The union claims the amounts fail to cover basic needs amid inflation.

Many leave public jobs for private or informal options offering better pay, as shown by a former nurse in Camagüey. The situation worsens due to stagnant wages and the recent oil blockade ordered by President Donald Trump.
