Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>On Tuesday, the executive ratified final amounts for the implementation of the TSU which, in addition to setting the national minimum wage at 8,758 meticais, readjusted entry-level salaries in different state careers.<\/p>\n This Wednesday, the National Civil Service Union (Sindicato Nacional da Func\u0327a\u0303o Pu\u0301blica) condemned the new amounts on the grounds that some state employees will see their salaries reduced by around 10,000 meticais.<\/p>\n Fernando Congola, spokesperson for the National Civil Service Union, says that members heard the government\u2019s announcement with sadness and concern, as \u201cin the announcement of the first session of the Council of Ministers, there was talk of a reduction in salaries for holders of leadership positions, but this week, the government announced the reduction of wages for all approved levels\u201d.<\/p>\n A right<\/b><\/p>\n Congola says that the wage levels in the previous TSU table constituted a right and not an interest, and that all government attempts at an explanation reveal a serious failure in communication.<\/p>\n Civil Service officials also condemn the fact that they have for the last three months been earning a certain salary, which has now been lowered.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is in this month [of January] that the issue of salary reduction is being raised, on the eve of salaries [payments],\u201d Congola says. \u201cOur lives are planned. This decision has a great influence on our social life and on the income of families. This is a serious failure on the part of the government.\u201d<\/p>\n Congola also alleges that, by announcing hat senior technicians benefited from an increase of 115%, from around 17,000 to 36,000 meticais, the government is trying to hide the facts.<\/p>\n \u201cThe truth is that this amount was based on the system of careers and remuneration. The salary of professional technicians and senior technicians had a subsidy ranging from 30 to 75%. Therefore, these are not the announced amounts,\u201d Congola said.<\/p>\n Despite the indignation, the National Civil Service Union calls for calm and says it will appeal the decision through the dialogue forums created by the government.<\/p>\n For More News And Analysis About Mozambique<\/a> Follow Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Inalci\u0301dio Uamusse Africa-Press – Mozambique.
