Africa-Press – Cape verde. At a press conference in Mindelo today, UCID denounced alleged situations of labour injustice in the City Council of São Vicente and urged Mayor Augusto Neves to “take better care” of the municipality’s employees.
This, according to the president of the Independent and Democratic Cape Verdean Union (UCID, opposition), João Santos Luís, so that collaborators can, in turn, have the conditions to take care of the results that the island of São Vicente wants and expects, to continue following its path of development “without a hitch”.
At issue, according to the same source, is the fact that nine months later the São Vicente City Council has still not implemented the salary readjustment determined by the government, through the 2023 State Budget, of 3.5 per cent for workers and pensioners whose salary or pension ranges between 15,000 escudos and 33,000 escudos, 2 per cent above 33,000 escudos and up to 51,000 escudos, and 1 per cent above 51,000 escudos and up to 69,000 escudos.
“Even considering the salary adjustment determined by the Government to be meager, the employees of the city council have not yet seen the color of the implementation of this measure, which is why the UCID demands that the mayor assume his responsibility in full and order the salary adjustment to be processed with effect from January 2023”, reinforced the leader of the Christian Democrats.
