The banking unions SBC, SBN and Mais Sindicato presented to the President of the Republic a request for successive inspection of the constitutionality of the ‘marginalization’ of bank retirees in the payment of the exceptional 50% supplement for pensioners in the sector, announced by the Government.
In a statement released this Wednesday, the Mais Sindicato, the Central Bank Employees’ Union (SBC) and the Portuguese Financial Sector Workers’ Union (SBN) report that they delivered on Tuesday to the Presidency of the Republic a request for successive scrutiny of the inflation mitigation legislative package“given its foreseeable unconstitutionality for not including all” bank retirees.
The trip to Belém, they explain in the document, was part of the fight of the bankers’ unions “against the discrimination of its retirees and pensioners before a legislative measure announced as universal”but that leaves some out.
In the request to the President of the Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, the unions explain that retirees who benefit from the General Regime, or from a system recognized by it as an integral part of the Social Security system, are “excluded from the application of a mechanism applicable to all”. the reform of said system”.
The unions demand, therefore, a successive inspection, provided for in the Constitution, of the legislative package to mitigate inflation, “taking into account its foreseeable” unconstitutionality in the face of interpretation and application, that is, of the protection of Social Security .
