The SINTAP trade union negotiated a new collective agreement with the Inova company, which provides waste, water and other municipal services in the Coimbra district. Highlights includes the progressive reduction of working hours in 2022 and 2023 to 35 a week; changes to the scheduling of night work; and additional holiday entitlement (an extra day for every 10 years of service and a general increase in annual leave to 25 days by 2023). There will also be increases to meal and other allowances as well as higher pay.
