The State Secretaries of Public Administration and Social Security and the unions will discuss on Wednesday the dismissal of 697 workers of the Social Security Institute (ISS), which will be placed on upgrading (the former special mobility system) .

                     

                         The meeting held at the Ministry of Finance and will be attended by the President of the ISS, Mariana Ribeiro Ferreira, confirmed to the PUBLIC Workers Union of Public Administration (Sintap).

The process, which is generating a wave of opposition from the unions and opposition parties, was the subject of a public hearing organized by the PS, who yesterday joined unions UGT and CGTP and dozens of workers around the country that have received notification of the ISS and, in some cases, should be placed in rehabilitation from December 18.

The hearing was the answer found by the Socialist Members to bridge the lead of the proposal providing for the hearing in the Committee of Labour and Social Security for unions, the Minister for Employment and Social Security, Pedro Mota Soares, and the president of the ISS. The PS insisted and presented another potestative character requirement, which requires the Minister to move the committee and Mariana Ribeiro Ferreira, now awaiting the scheduling of a date.

In the public hearing this terça- fair, the PS challenged the government to back down in the decision. “It is an incomprehensible process and hope that the government back off, because there is no logic in anything that’s going on,” explained Ferro Rodrigues, parliamentary leader of the PS.

At the stage of debate, also Socialist Members were challenged by a worker of the district center of Porto Social Security to revoke the special mobility. “The PS, if Government is available to keep the naming bond of all workers Social Security, to revoke mobility and the tendering for admitting workers in permanent jobs? “he asked. The question is registered, but got no response.

During the debate, held in the new building of the auditorium of the National Assembly, the workers were unraveling their stories and indignation with the process, praised by colleagues. They claim that most of those affected by the process “are playing functions”, which was not made any effort to reassign people to other services, there are services and areas relating to the protection of children and young people who will be “with neither” giving with an example the case of Braga, and that, contrary to what has told the government, “there are workers who after a year go to unemployment.”

Faced with the evidence, the Socialist MEP, Sonia Fertuzinhos, concluded: “. It is created here a void that is severe These testimonies enabled us to realize very well the folly that is behind this process, because it leaves no network who can not do without one”

<. p> Louis Fishing, leader of the National Federation (CGTP), warned of the problems related to the process, namely the fact that, in any document, the ISS assume “that economic and financial imbalance related workers” affected by requalification.

The reclassification is a mechanism where workers considered surpluses are placed. In the first year, receive 60% of earnings and are, by law, subject to a process of training to come back to be placed. If not, now receive 40% of salary. Workers with naming bond may be in this situation until retirement age. But those who came after 2009 or who have never had naming bond are laid off after the first year.
