AIMA. Union recalls unanswered demands

The Sindicato dos Técnicos de Migração (STM) has raised concerns about the lack of response to the efforts of workers at the AIMA, calling for a stable increase in personnel and the reinstatement of immigration liaison officers. On AIMA's third anniversary, the STM highlighted that the agency generated significant revenue, yet questions remain about budget allocation for hiring and training. They emphasize the need for adequate working conditions and transparency in budget use, noting that while AIMA has hired new staff, many leave for other positions. The STM also pointed out ongoing challenges, including a backlog of immigration processes and insufficient resources at service centers in Lisbon and Porto.
