The president of the Union of Workers of the Electrical and Irrigation Industry (Utier) Angel Figueroa Jaramillo, said today, Wednesday, that the governor Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia proven to be more of the same after you have made sure that you do not cancel the LUMA Energy contract during your status message.
At a party with the press on the north side of the Capitol, where several unions came to demonstrate, the union leader hoped that the situation covered by the contract and the investigations the legislature is going through will result in the agreement being annulled.
LUMA it won’t be able to work. We hope and trust that the mobilizations that will continue to take place will change the minds of those New Progressive Party (PNP) politicians who are still pushing for backing a contract that is bad for the people of Puerto Rico, ”he said.
During his message, the governor assured this is open to changes, if necessary, but stated that he never considered canceling it.
However, this morning the House of Representatives approved a measure that postpones the contract until January 15, 2022 instead of June of the current year.
When questioned about the Governor’s claim that the employees of the Electric Power Authority they will be better paid and will have more benefits, Figueroa Jaramillo assured that Pierluisi Urrutia is lying when he makes these innuendo.
“We have proven documents that we publish on social networks that show that the employee will have fewer benefits LUMAThe simplest example is that with sick leave we have 18 and with LUMA 12 ”, he explained.
In turn, the official also announced that the main problem that the May 1 demonstrations will be holding will be the rejection of the LUMA contract.
