ELA has convened two days of strike on 23 and 24 February in canteens and school transport in public, private and concerted CAV centres. The trade union has denounced that, in adopting measures and decisions, the Department of Education has maintained an attitude of imposition and bilaterality, recalling that both families and workers in the educational community, including services, have asked for negotiation.

The workers have assured that they do not have concrete measures and protocols, since the decisions taken for school hours "do not affect the dining or bus schedules, which directly affects the safety and quality of the services and the right to health of workers and users". ELA has asked the Department of Education for a real commitment to these services, as well as negotiated measures and protocols that guarantee the maintenance of health, safety, quality and employment. "We call for a review of the current rules governing canteens and school transport, as well as the application of those rules in the concerted centres and in private centres," he said.

Care and social services

The main mobilizations were carried out in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa, where a monitoring system was required "public, dignified, free, of quality, universal and managed directly by the public administrations". The second day of strike will take place on 4 March and it will again denounce that working conditions are the worst and that the services are also the worst, claiming the publicity of the sector.
