Based on Order SND/232/2020 of March 15, the Provincial Council of Álava has mobilized staff from the Bizia Day Center to the foral residence to meet the needs arising as a consequence of the health emergency of Covid-19. Despite the fact that these workers have now been employed and the regular staff of the foreign residences (in this case the Zadorra residence), they are meeting the same schedule and schedule as the rest of the staff and, above all, do the same work, they are charged according to the working conditions of the centre to which they are attached, a much lower amount than that received by the workers of the Zadorra residence themselves.

ELA would like to underline two things: on the one hand, to denounce the bad management system of elderly homes, whose last and main responsibility is the Council. In addition to the foral network of public residences, in Álava the subsidised and private residences are widespread, where the care of the users and the working conditions of the staff have nothing to do with those of the public network. If there is no agreed improvement, workers in private residences are charged according to the State Convention.

On the other hand, we must remind the Council that when these workers have entered the workforce of the Residences Forales, their calendars, schedules and days have changed, and that in many cases the right to conciliation of work and family life has been violated. Unfortunately, we must not forget that women still bear the brunt of conciliation today. This, on the path we lack for equity, should be a concern for our institutions.

It must also be put at the same level of importance that the Member does not have so much need to recruit temporary staff from their labour exchanges. The Council must ensure that the staff of the Bizia Day Centre will be paid the same amount as the staff of the Foral Institute for Social Welfare, and that the staff who provided temporary services in advance will return to work. Any other measure would be the use of a cheap and precarious "workforce", taking advantage of extraordinary health emergency measures.

On April 30, ELA will meet with the Provincial Council of Álava and we will ask you to channel these situations. In other provinces, the Deputies have assumed the wage differences of private resource personnel when they are dedicated to the provision of services to public centres. We call for the same to be done in Álava. Nor must we forget that in Álava we remain the only territory of the CAPV without provincial convention, so this is even more dramatic in the case of the Alavese workers. Once again, we are calling for the necessary resources to be made available in order to be able to promote a provincial convention in Álava. Because it is the duty of institutions to care for those who care for us.
