CGTP demands that absences from work be considered justified and paid

The CGTP has called for work absences due to the storm Charles to be recognized as justified and paid. They argue that the government's appeal for understanding from employers does not adequately protect workers facing difficulties in commuting or caring for children due to school closures. The union emphasizes that the state of alert does not provide sufficient safeguards for workers unable to access their workplaces, risking their financial stability. CGTP demands that the government implement measures to ensure proper protection for affected workers, insisting that absences should be treated as equivalent to actual work performance to prevent any pay reductions during their absence.
