Temporary precaries

  • In these days two important decisions have been taken, the precariousness generated by the temporality, to expel them from public and private workplaces through the laws and practice: the integration of riders in the Framework Agreement on Hospitality of the CAPV and the conversion of the ruling dictated by Europe to non-fixed workers who have long been forcing the Spanish State Administration.

The precariousness generated by temporality and substitutions in the workplace has been and continues to be an important scourge of the legal labor system, both in public and private companies. Thousands of workers suffer from this situation in their own meats. Four out of ten public sector jobs are temporary, especially in education and health. It is high time that, through legislation and, above all, practice, this precariousness was stopped once and for all in the workplaces.

Two important decisions have been taken in this direction these days. One in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa: trade unions and employers have decided to incorporate distributors – the so-called raiders – who work for digital platforms in the CAPV Framework Agreement on Hospitality. Now, that agreement has to be transferred to the collective agreements of each territory. It would be very nice to be able to do the same in Navarra.

The other in the Spanish state: A European judgment has condemned the Spanish justice system to make non-fixed the personnel of the public administration who have been making replacements for more than three years and has warned that it will no longer be able to work. Although the case does not focus on the issue, the ruling will affect thousands of public sector workers, some 150,000 in Hego Euskal Herria.

These decisions must now be respected and processes speeded up so that they can be implemented as soon as possible. Most of the responsibility lies with the public administrations of the Spanish State and the Basque Country, which should be the model for maintaining decent and stable employment in their companies, rather than nurturing precariousness and temporality. Because we cannot forget one thing: these agreements have been achieved thanks to the long and hard struggle of the workers.
