The professionals and workers of the National Academy of Medicine (ANM) today demanded an urgent salary recomposition and maintained that their income continues to be more than 80 percent behind, since until now only “an improvement of 16 percent was incorporated last January of guideline 2022, corresponding to the first tranche”.
A document from the employees of the ANM and its institutes (Iihema and IIE) denounced “the difficult salary situation that the staff is going through, aggravated during the coronavirus pandemic and the post-pandemic”, and asserted that despite the items sent by the Ministry of Health “the parity percentages are not updated automatically”.
The salaries of the ANM employees are paid with funds sent by the Health portfolio, according to Decree 57/17 of the Executive Power and, since the improvements are not updated automatically, they take effect an average of 8 months after the agreement is signed. .
The workers added that after that 16 percent recomposition of the first tranche of the 2022 salary guideline, another 97% still remains to be incorporated into basic salaries.
“The ANM employees are going through an economic emergency, for which they request the Health portfolio to comply with Decree 57/17 and that the Academy’s budget be updated in accordance with the parities and in a timely manner,” they affirmed.
At the time, this decree transferred the ANM from the scope of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation to the Health portfolio “with its powers, dependent units, assets that make up its patrimony and personnel, preserving their magazine situations, conditions of employment and tax exemptions provided”.
