Interestingly the municipalities who have hired since 2008, i.e. during the crisis, will be forced to cut down by 3% on the number of public employees. And that already in 2012.
I feel sorry for the people loosing their jobs, but ecstatic concerning the possibility of smaller local authorities and just the thought of municipalities being forced to save are good news.
However, how can the state demand that municipalities cut down 3%? It does not even know it self how many public employees there are?! It is a wonder, that they all receive a salary and a pension. In fact that is probably why some receive more than just one...
Get your act together and tell us exactly how many public employees Portugal has - it is an public embarrassment and a proof of your incompetence you don't know.
Update:
Today the Público (hat tip) can tell us that the government will publish the numbers of public employees adhering to general strike tomorrow. I doubt the numbers will be trustworthy from either the government, because of incompetence, and from the unions because of exaggeration. You will know the government is lying if it gives us percentages. Those would clearly be inventions as the total number of public employees is unknown.
