The overtime strike at the Integration, Migration and Asylum Agency (AIMA), which starts this Thursday, is expected to have more of an impact on internal work than on relations with users, a union source said.
The strike is due to end of the year, “it will delay the processes” because overtime “is actually borne by the back office” and not so much by the front office, because the front office “The company has working hours” for clients that do not include overtime, Artur Cerqueira, director of the National Federation of Trade Unions of Public and Social Workers (FNSTFPS), told Luse.
“This advance notice of strike allows workers as a group not to work beyond the mandatory 150 hours” in the civil service for a period of time until the end of the year, he explained, stressing that the call is a way of responding to the excess workload imposed on AIMA employees.
