From the Union of Civil Personnel of the Nation (UPCN) admit that it is not the ideal amount, but it is justify by critical situation that is lived, they informed Ambit. On the other hand, the State Workers Association (ATE) rejected it outright. “This proposal is unacceptable. A cut of this magnitude in public sector revenues is unprecedented in recent decades. It is a huge adjustment,” he said. Rodolfo Aguiar, General Secretary of ATE National.
The percentage signed It is very close to the order by UPCN. At the negotiating table, they proposed that for July and August there be a 3.5% increase each month, in line with the CPI projection. In August they will meet again to agree on salaries starting in September.
ATE National questions the agreement because it is below the projected inflation.The offers are not even in line with official inflation levels. “It is clear that we are facing a deliberate plan to destroy the salaries and living conditions of all public employees,” said its general secretary, Rodolfo Aguiar.
