Boletim do Trabalho e Emprego

The “Labour and Employment Bulletin”: the official publication where collective agreements, their amendments and the pay tables for each sector are printed. BTE is where you check the rate your job category is entitled to.

Where you come across it. Collective agreements, pay tables, news about wages in a sector.
An agreement does not automatically cover everyone: for it to apply to people who are not union members as well, a portaria de extensão must be published in the Diário da República.
