ELA Secretary General Mitxel Lakuntza said that "it is essential that many of the public services that are currently privatized or subcontracted be published". To this end, the Basque Government and the Government of Navarre have presented a plan to make public the care sectors: nursing homes, day centers, homes and associations of people with functional diversity, apartments of minors and home help services, which guarantees the subrogation and consolidation of working people.
"Another key sector is clean-up, and that has been fundamental in this crisis. However, workers have the widest gender pay gaps and structural precariousness," said Lakuntza. It has therefore asked that subcontractors carrying out cleaning work for the Administration be made public "or, if they work in the private sector, be integrated into the main companies".
Lakuntza has denounced that "ambulance workers are at great risk to their health, as well as being the worst consequences of privatization" and has announced that they will work to make this service public: "ensuring the subrogation and consolidation of all staff and their matching with the conditions of public employees".
