O “Business Journal” makes headlines this Monday with discontent within Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP), where more than 230 senior technicians accuse the administration of discrimination in career progression. The government will receive them at the end of the month.
The workers sent a open letter to the Minister of Infrastructure and Housing, Miguel Pinto Luzcontesting a decision by the company’s board of directors — chaired by Miguel Cruz — which decided, this year, promote only managers and appointment positionsleaving out the remaining senior technicians with years of service.
O Union of Road Infrastructure Workers (STIR) asked for one urgent hearing to the minister and will be received at the Ministry of Infrastructure on October 29th.
In the letter, which the Business had access, the signatories report situations of career freeze, unjustified salary differences e work overload in structuring projects such as PRRo PNI 2030 ea high speed rail. They also accuse the administration of favoring new hires with time exemption (20% salary increase)refused to older staff who perform the same functions.
Senior technicians warn of the internal demotivation ea departure of experienced staffcalling for “fair and transparent valuation measures”. The June decision is, according to the workers, “clearly discriminatory” and “incapable of retaining talent” in the public company responsible for investments exceeding 17 billion euros.
