Euskaraz irakurri: F Ligako jokalariek greba deitu dute lehen bi jardunaldietarako
The soccer players of the F League have called a strike this Friday for the first two days of the domestic championship “because of the impossibility of reaching a satisfactory agreement with the employers” in view of the new Collective Agreement, as reported by the Association of Spanish Soccer Players (AFE).
This union, FUTPRO, Futbolistas ON, UGT and CC.OO, which make up the social bank for negotiation to modify and improve the Collective agreement for the players of the highest category, “they have sent a letter to the Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service (SIMA), as a prior act of conciliation, and communication to the labor authority (Ministry of Labor and Social Economy) about the strike call for the first two days of League F”.
This strike call, “if the parties in the SIMA do not reach an agreement”, at which time the formal letter would be made to the employer, would begin at 00.00 hours next friday September 8th and would run until 24.00 on Sunday 10and later, from 00.00 on Friday the 15th until 24.00 on Sunday 17.
“After more than a year of negotiations, and before the inability to reach a satisfactory agreement with the employerthe unions, as representatives of the workers, have been forced to call a two-day strike,” the statement said.
The social bank emphasizes that the promotion of this strike, “to which all the soccer players who provide services in clubs and SAD” of the F League are summoned this season, “is the result of the deadlock in negotiations of the Collective Agreement”. “The aim is to advance in these negotiations, achieve fair and dignified treatment for the soccer players, address and reduce the existing wage gap’, among other issues, the unions expose”, they add.
“AFE wants to underline that it is defending the legitimate labor rights present of the soccer players and, above all, future ones, through the legitimate right to strike, showing their commitment to benefit the new generations”, stressed the union chaired by David Aganzo.
