Employees of the Authority for Food and Economic Safety (ASAE) called off the strike that was to begin this Tuesday, after the Government guaranteed some conditions, including the adaptation of the evaluation system to the special inspector career.
As the president of the ASAE Employees Union Association (ASF-ASAE) told Lusa, the workers “were surprised” by a meeting scheduled from Thursday to Friday of last week, in which The adaptation of the Integrated Public Administration Performance Evaluation System (SIADAP) to the special career of ASAE inspector was guaranteed and meetings scheduled to negotiate workers’ remaining demands
“Three negotiation meetings have been scheduled for the end of the year”Cristiano Santos explained, adding that the first will be on November 29.
Partial strikes were to begin this Tuesday, which will last ten days until the end of the year, in protest against the lack of employees and the “financial asphyxiation” of the organization.
According to the prior notice, They were scheduled for November 19, 21, 26 and 28 and December 3, 5, 10, 12, 17 and 19 partial strikes in ASAE, in which at least one of the organic units would be arrested.
With the strike, the union association wanted to call the Attention to the “drastic decrease in the number of workers” in ASAE, which went from 595 in 2006 to 470, as well as the lack of funds for the acquisition of “technological tools that allow the identification of offenders in the context of online commerce, laboratory reagents that allow greater analysis of food and greater combat against food fraud or even minor repairs to breakdowns in deteriorated facilities or immobilized vehicles.”
Among the reasons listed are non-attribution of a supplement equivalent to “mission compensation”attitude that the employees of the institution describe as “the total lack of recognition by this government of the police status of ASAE”, and the lack of response to the complaints presented in the September meeting with the Government.
They also point out the lack of a schedule for the review of the ASAE Special Inspection Career Statute, which they consider unattractive for attracting new inspectors, with an undervalued salary scale that they consider could lead to the progressive loss of inspectors.
