The Migration Technicians Union has called for a strike at the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) on October 6. Workers are demanding a salary supplement to reflect the specific responsibilities of their roles, citing a lack of response from the government regarding their requests.

Context & Explainers

Pedro Gaspar is the president of the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (Agência para a Integração, Migrações e Asilo or AIMA). His office is responsible for migration and asylum policies, so changes or statements from him affect migrants, asylum seekers and those using integration services in Portugal.
