Pension reform for civil servants Facade of Divinópolis City Hall Divinópolis City Hall/Disclosure The Divinópolis Chamber approved the complementary bill that restructures the Social Security Regime (RPPS) for municipal public servants by 11 votes in favor and five against. The text presented by City Hall changes retirement, pension and transition rules for permanent employees. According to the Municipality, the objective is to adapt the pension system to the requirements of Constitutional Amendment 103, of the 2019 Pension Reform, and reduce the Diviprev deficit. Before the vote, the Executive presented a modifying message to the original project incorporating suggestions made by councilors and civil servant representatives. Among the changes are transition rules considered more favorable for those who are close to retiring and adjustments related to the permanence benefit. According to City Hall, 16 of the 27 union demands were met. However, the lawyers representing the unions, André Rodrigues and Farlandes Guimarães, state that only technically reformulated texts were accepted. "All proposals presented by the unions were brought to the table, but only technical corrections were accepted. The points that really impact the lives and rights of employees were not accepted. At no time did the administration demonstrate a willingness for an effective dialogue", stated the lawyers.
