BC servers will make daily stoppages from this Thursday

In mobilization for salary readjustment and career restructuring, Central Bank servers decided, in a meeting held this Wednesday (16), to make daily stoppages of four hours, from 2 pm to 6 pm, starting this Thursday (17).

Another decision taken at the meeting was that deputies for all BC commissioned functions will collectively request exoneration from their positions.

The initiative is part of the national movement of the civil service for salary recomposition after President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) waved a raise for federal police, federal highway workers and prison guards. The amount available in the Budget to raise the remuneration of civil servants is R$ 1.7 billion.

On February 21, Bolsonaro made a new gesture to the Federal Highway Police and an appeal to other sectors of the civil service. “I hope the understanding of the other categories, of the servers in Brazil”, he said. Before that, the president had said that the readjustment for police officers could be left for 2023, if there is no understanding with the other servers.

According to the National Union of Central Bank Employees (Sinal), the category expects a meeting with the Chief of Staff, Ciro Nogueira, in the coming days. Another request from the servers is that the president of BC, Roberto Campos Neto, send a letter to the federal government demanding a concrete response on the readjustments.

“If the two things do not happen by next Tuesday, at the March 22 assembly, we will immediately discuss the proposals for an indefinite strike and the delivery of the commissions on the same date”, said Fábio Faiad, president of the union, in a note.

Last Thursday (10), officials at the monetary authority folded their arms for the fourth time since the beginning of the year, affecting some services, such as monitoring hacker attacks against Pix keys.

There was also a delay in serving the public, as well as the postponement and cancellation of dozens of internal meetings and with members of the national financial system. In addition, the distribution of banknotes in Rio de Janeiro was affected and the disclosure of Ptax, the exchange rate calculated by the monetary authority, delayed.

According to the union, more than 60% of the employees adhered to the last mobilization. Currently, the municipality has 3,500 active servers.

The first act took place on January 18, when 50% of employees crossed their arms for two hours. At the time, about 200 people staged a protest in front of the agency’s headquarters in Brasília, while others participated remotely.
