The agreement between the Setubal settlers and the port works companies to end the strike that began on 5 November seems to be getting closer, after the SEAL, to a "significant rapprochement between the parties to the conflict". . But there are still three essential points to separate the bosses from the workers.
First, the SEAL, a union that supports the precarious workers of the sadino port and participates in the negotiations started Monday at the Ministry of the Sea, considers it essential "not to forget the working time in the program of these workers when signing contracts of work ".
"If we have dockers with 20 years of precariousness, we must consider this moment.No one requires retroactivity, but it is necessary to define the appropriate framework in the respective category, respecting the actual working time on the ground" , indicates the instruction given by SEAL to Expresso.
Another key issue for unions is to ensure that shantytowns that remain without a contract are not without support. That's why, if 56 of the 150 precarious dockers from Setúbal had a work contract, SEAL wants to make sure that before using overtime, these slaves are expected to take a quarter working.
The precarious stock market will continue to be important
"We can not forget that even with the work of a group of 56 handlers, the precarious Setubal Stock Exchange continues to be large (90 people)," says SEAL. In addition, workers' representatives fear that "with the use of overtime, port companies can hide the need for more dockers".
According to the SEAL accounts, taking into account all the changes made over the last 18 months, the necessary staff in Setúbal around 90 dockers out of a total of 150 worked for Operative and Setulset.
Finally, the SEAL wants to be considered as invalid the employment contracts already signed with precarious contracts of the Port. When the conflict breaks out, there would be two, now, according to Operative, it will be a dozen. Why Because, just like at the beginning of this blockage, SEAL contends that these contracts are against the law once they have been engaged with an ongoing strike.
Despite these points of division, the SEAL has already admitted that the management's position has evolved and that the agreement could be soon.
Tomorrow, and possibly Friday, if necessary, negotiations will continue last Monday at the Ministry of the Sea.
However, despite the SEAL's confidence, Operestiva had informed that its proposal to resolve the precarious conflict was only valid until 11 pm yesterday.
The unavailability at work of precarious people who paralyze the two main terminals of the port of Setúbal since November 5, leaving on the ground thousands of cars of Autoeuropa, was extended Thursday to the other port terminals, with the Setulset workers participation in the struggle of Operative colleagues after the company to enter the port a group of 30 people, under police school, to replace them in the loading of 2,500 cars of Autoeuropa.
This strike is in addition to the overtime strike that began in August, due to alleged discrimination against SEAL members in the ports of Leixões and Madeira. This strike has a particular impact on the ports of Setúbal and Lisbon, where the SEAL has more weight.
