ELA and LAB call to support the day of strike called and thus pressure the employer in the negotiation of the agreement. They ask for improvements in working conditions, human ratios, equal salaries and means to offer a quality service.
The workers of the residences of Bizkaia are called today to support the strike called by the ELA and LAB unions to demand an improvement in their working conditions and request an extension of the workforce.
ELA denounced on November 30 that, after a year and a half of meetings, no steps have been taken in the negotiation of the Bizkaia residences agreement and that the employers’ associations and the Biscay council “continue to bet on a negotiation without content.”
In the negotiation of the agreement they demand questions like that the workers are replaced from day one, have full-time contracts or the salary and working conditions are equated to IFAS, which the employer does not want to face.
On the other hand, ELA considers that the Provincial Council “continues with its institutional propaganda, but the reality today is that layoffs, privatization of services, lack of personnel and part-time contracts, among others, are the a trigger for the lack of quality of care and the workloads suffered by women workers in the sector “.
The LAB union has also joined the call to fight for the equalization of working conditions with public workers and demand human ratios, in addition to emphasizing that, for the union, “the final solution to this conflict is through the publication of the elderly care service.”
And it is that, for LAB, the Provincial Council imposes privatization of the care of the elderly and is the main person in charge of what is being lived in the residences in Bizkaia “.
Faced with this situation, they have made a call to mobilize and participate in the activities planned for today.
LAB will gather at 10:30 am in front of the headquarters of the General Meetings of Bizkaia
ELA will distribute the ‘letters of precariousness’ at 11:30 am in front of the Foral Palace.
