Ministry of Management and Innovation will sit at the negotiating table with the union of the bodies on August 13
O Ministry of Management and Innovation anticipated the rejection of the Synagency (National Union of Employees of National Regulatory Agencies) to the salary adjustment proposal presented on Monday (29.Jul.2024) and scheduled a new round of negotiations with the union for August 13.
Earlier, Sinagências reported that it will meet on Wednesday (August 7) to deliberate on the government’s proposal, but signaled that the offer will be rejected. The union said that the proposal “does not even cover the inflationary losses of recent years”.
This will be the second time the government has rejected a proposal to appease employees of regulatory agencies. The category has already carried out a 48-hour national strike, from Wednesday (July 31) to Thursday (August 1), and new actions have not been ruled out if the demand for career restructuring is not met.
Regulatory agency employees are calling for careers to be brought into line with other civil service careers. This demand seeks to make the career more attractive to prevent a brain drain to different positions and fill vacancies in the agencies.
In summary, the category asks:
- The salary appreciation and equalization of regulatory professionals with those who work in the so-called management cycle, such as careers at the Central Bank, CGU (General Comptroller of the Union), Susep (Superintendence of Private Insurance) and CVM (Securities and Exchange Commission). The category claims 40% wage gap in comparison with employees in the management cycle;
- O end of contingency and increase in the agencies’ budget; and
- The replacement of vacant positions in regulatory entities.
As shown by the Poder360the 11 federal regulatory agencies have about 1/3 of their positions unoccupied, with 3,708 vacant positions out of a total of 11,522. The worst situation is that of ANM (National Mining Agency), which has 62% of its positions unfilled.
The situation was complicated by the federal government’s budget cuts. In early June, the directors of the 11 agencies disclosed one joint note against the 20% budget cut made by the government.
