Good news for government employees! A city announces a salary adjustment and a R$ 400 meal allowance. See the details!
Pelotas (RS) witnessed a significant event for the city's public servants this week, with Mayor Paula Mascarenhas proposing a 3.83% salary increase for the group.
The proposal was approved at a general assembly at the traditional Colégio Pelotense, which welcomed a significant number of municipal employees.
In addition to the salary increase, the city administration also raised the meal allowance from R$ 330 to R$ 400. However, the city administration's refusal to increase the base salary to the national minimum wage caused dissatisfaction among some employees at the assembly.
Salary adjustment: a step forward, but the battle continues
Although some attendees left during the assembly, the group showed unity, reinforcing that the fight for better working conditions and salaries does not end with the approved adjustment.
The employees emphasized the need to remain united in defense of their rights and a decent salary for everyone.
The city government's proposal, which arrived a month late due to the financial impact assessment, justified the smaller adjustment as a strategy to ease the pressure of the payroll on the municipal budget.
The increase is estimated to cost the city a monthly impact of R$ 1.02 million. Remember that the category had already approved a request for a 15.96% increase at an assembly held in May.
Employees seeking better working conditions
The delay in the city government's response caused a stoppage and the call for a strike, showing the employees' dissatisfaction with their salaries. Currently, Pelotas city government employs 7,630 permanent employees, 411 in commissioned positions, and 483 on temporary contracts.
It is crucial to highlight that a significant proportion of these employees receive salaries below the national minimum wage, relying on a supplement to ensure an adequate income.
The continued dissatisfaction and mobilization of the category shows that the struggle for better working conditions and salaries is far from over.
Now, it remains to follow the future repercussions of this move and its effects on public administration and the lives of municipal employees.
