The five-day national strike begins today, called by the Tax Workers Union (STI), which brings together about eight thousand workers from the Tax and Customs Authority (AT).
This morning, at Terminal XXI of the Port of Sines, the president of STI Ana Gamboa, accompanied by colleagues from the customs area, will present the status of this first day of stoppage, with a call to attention to «the specificities and difficulties with which these professionals face, specifically in customs and border control functions, guaranteed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, without interregnum».
Recalling that there is no lack of reasons for workers of the Tax and Customs Authority to unite in this protest, the Union intends to "show the current government and the country that these professionals deserve and demand respect for the functions they perform and that they do not passively accept the destruction of a increasingly degraded sector”.
In the range of problems to be resolved, the STI highlights "the deficient management of Human Resources, the robotization of inspection functions and the lack of conditions to provide a good and effective service in supporting compliance, in controlling the European Union's external borders and in prevention, investigation and fight against tax and customs fraud and evasion».
