Brasilia 247 - The CEO of the Urban Cleaning Service of the Federal District (SLU), Kátia Campos, stated this Monday (1st) that the government does not have money foreseen in the budget to cover cleaning expenses until the end of the year. With an average expense of R$ 36 million per month, garbage collection and street sweeping in the months of November and December will have to be paid for with money from other sectors, totaling R$ 72 million.
"Urban cleaning expenses are paid for with taxes, but in a time of crisis like this, we don't have the money. The resources we have today don't allow us to close the year," she told G1. "Our budget forecast only goes until October, so we have November and December open. We'll have to take money from other areas, such as health, education, and others."
On strike since Saturday (30), outsourced urban cleaning workers in the Federal District are demanding a 9,83% salary readjustment, based on last year's inflation, and an increase of R$ 200 in the food voucher. The category rejected the 8% readjustment proposal offered by the government.
