“The demands are decent salary increases for workers, who, at the moment, those on the Transdev contract are at the national minimum wage, 820 euros”, José Manuel Silva, coordinator of the Northern Urban Road Transport Union, told Lusa. (STRUN).
The union leader states that at Transdev “workers are standing still” as they do not accept lower increases than those practiced in member companies of the National Passenger Transport Association (Antrop), of 60 euros, excluding extras.
According to José Manuel Silva, at Transdev, which operates mainly in the North and Center of the country, there was only an increase of 15 euros, from 805 to 820 euros, something that “workers do not accept”.
“Furthermore, they came at the last minute to renegotiate with three more unions. They never wanted to negotiate with us”, further accuses the head of STRUN, who is still awaiting a counter-proposal from Transdev.
José Manuel Silva also accused the company of proposing increases of 50 euros to 870 euros, but exclusively for workers in the unions with whom it reached an agreement.
“The workers revolted even more, and the workers gave them the answer today”, he stressed.
Lusa has already sent questions to Transdev and is awaiting a response.
During the remaining days of the strike, workers will continue to gather in front of the Transdev facilities in Pinheiro, in Guimarães (Braga district).
