President Union of Workers in the Electricity and Irrigation Industry (Utier), Angel Figueroa Jaramillo, said today, Wednesday, that the governor Pedro Pierluisi Far away proved to be more of the same kind after assuring during the status message that you will not cancel the LUMA Energy contract.
During a press party in the northern part of the Capitol, where several unions came to demonstrate, the union leader hoped that the situation covered by the contract and the investigations supported by the Legislature will lead to the cancellation of the agreement.
“LUMA will not have the ability to operate. We hope and trust that the mobilizations that will continue to change the opinion of PNP (New Progressive Party) politicians who still insist on supporting a contract that is bad for the people of Puerto Rico, “he said.
During his message, the governor assured that is open to change, if necessary, but said he had never considered canceling it.
However, this morning House of Representatives approved a measure postponing the contract until January 15, 2022 instead of June of this year.
When asked about the governor’s claim that employees in Electricity Authority they will be better paid and will have greater benefits, Figueroa Jaramillo assured that Pierluisi Urrutia is lying when he makes these insinuations.
“We have highlighted documents that we publish on social networks that show that the worker will have fewer benefits LUMA. The simplest example is that on medical leave, we have 18, and at LUMA there are 12 “, he exemplified.
In turn, the official also announced that the main problem that the demonstrations on May 1 will carry out will be the rejection of the LUMA contract.
