1,792 working hours per month for 997 euros, in 14 pay. In other words, EUR 7.78 per hour of work. This is what the most common workers in nursing homes, nursing auxiliaries and managers charge, according to the state agreement signed by the unions CCOO and UGT. And below these categories are others like gardener, maintenance aid, porter, cleaner, etc. Works mostly performed by women.

We could think that the conditions of all these positions in Hego Euskal Herria are very different, but not at least in many residences of Álava and Navarra. In the Foral Community there is a wage gap of 30% between workers in the same category but in different residences.

On Friday, the ELA, UGT and LAB trade unions have concentrated in Pamplona before the headquarters of the ANEA employers of profit-oriented residential housing companies to demand a dignified proposal in the negotiation of the Navarra agreement, after seventeen meetings started in May 2021. There is also a participation of the employers of the church of Lares.

After the merger, they attend the Foral Parliament in a working session to explain to the parties the negotiating situation. They criticise the lack of political will to improve their conditions. In fact, in the residential sector of 4,500 workers and 70 workplaces, only two are public throughout Navarre: The Vergel of Pamplona and Santo Domingo de Estella. In the absence of publication, they call on the Government to oblige companies to improve their working conditions by setting the minimum standards required by the concerted award.
