Treasury officials threaten to hand over commissioned positions in 20 days

The government remains under pressure from civil servants after deciding on a linear increase of 5% for all civil servants. After police officers expressed that they would not give up a career restructuring, members of the National Treasury decided in an assembly this Wednesday (20) to hand over the commissioned positions in 20 days if the requests are not answered.

The Ministry of Economy, which houses the Treasury, already has some of its activities limited amid the mobilization, which has affected the publication of data. The movement has already delayed the release of figures on the public debt, tax burden, state budget execution and even the submission to Congress of the PLDO (Budget Guidelines Bill, sent hours later than originally planned).

Treasury officials ask as a priority the presentation of a concrete proposal for wage parity with related careers in the Executive Branch (such as auditors at the Federal Revenue Service) and the inflationary correction of the salary in order to preserve purchasing power.

According to the decision in the assembly, they will hand over the commissioned positions on May 10 if the government does not respond to the elections. Servers called to fill the positions to be opened would not accept the invitation.

Bráulio Cerqueira, president of Unacon (a union that represents employees of the Internal Revenue Service and the Comptroller General’s Office), says that the government’s signaling of a differentiated treatment for police officers is unacceptable and would further expand the difference that exists today between careers.

“We are looking for a complete career restructuring proposal that avoids the misalignment signaled by the government”, says Cerqueira.

The servers defined, in addition to the deadline, a new stoppage on April 29. They must also vote on May 17 on the possibility of going on strike.

Unacon claims that a replacement of 24% in salaries is necessary to return to the salary level of January 2019 (date of the last adjustment).

According to the entity, the general recomposition of 5% decided by the government is insufficient in view of the high cost of living and also does not prevent the realization of the misalignment between state careers – through, for example, an increase aimed at police officers.

In the case of police officers, the alleged repeated failure to fulfill promises by the Bolsonaro government is one of the main factors cited to criticize the granting of a 5% raise to all federal careers, which would rule out the promised restructuring of federal public security categories.

Since the increase began to be reported and was not denied by the government, the representative bodies of delegates, experts and federal agents began to meet to discuss what the answer will be.

Still this week, the internal classes of the PF should vote on a permanent mobilization as a form of protest against the government’s signal that it will not use the R$ 1.7 billion reserved in the Budget to restructure security careers.

On the other hand, Central Bank employees gave a sign of relief to the government after deciding, in an assembly held this Tuesday (19), to suspend the strike for two weeks (until May 2).

But the mobilization of monetary authority officials did not end. As of this Wednesday (20), they will return to standard operation and will make daily stoppages, from 2 pm to 6 pm.

The decision was taken after a meeting with the president of the BC, on Monday (18), when Roberto Campos Neto told union representatives that the linear readjustment of 5% for the entire civil service is a consensus among ministers and endorsed by President Jair Bolsonaro. (PL).
