Draft Law No. 92 /XI

AMENDMENT OF DECREE-LAW NO. 28/2005, OF February 10, REGIME

LEGAL ACCESS TO DISABILITY AND OLD AGE PENSIONS BY THE

EMPLOYEES OF THE NATIONAL URANIUM COMPANY, S.A.

Exhibition of Motives

Currently the pension scheme for former workers of uranium mines, which

labored in the National Company of Uranium, S.A., it is specified in the Decree-Law

paragraph 195/95 of July 28 and in Decree-Law No. 28/2005. In these diplomas it is defined who

has a right to enjoy this status, and in what condition it can enjoy.

Currently only access to the benefit that the diplomas mentioned above is provided for

consecrate to workers who were in exercise of functions at the date of the dissolution

of the National Company of Uranium, S.A.

With this prediction of the standard stay out of this disability pension specification and

old age for mine workers, or support activities in the mining areas and

mining attachments or in works and real estate allocated to exploitation, a worker who has

left to laboring in the company, regardless of how many years you have worked there,

or since when he left from there labour.

The exercise of the above-mentioned labour functions conforms to conditions of penance, and

are exerted in a harmful environment for health far above the average of the other

occupations, being up to date in Portugal one of the most harmful areas of work, and of greater

professional wear.

Any conscious amendment to be made to the allocation of disability and old age pensions

of the workers of the National Company of Uranium, S.A., is always an amendment

insignificant in the Social Security pension universe, hence it is not put on

causes the way to guarantee the respective funding, which is a characteristic that should

be always properly considered when they change these rules.

draft law:
