Ten more days of strike have been called by the ELA staff of the Vizcayan residences. The strike will be held from 15 to 24 March, the union reports. ELA denounces that the employers and the Provincial Council of Bizkaia continue "as they are". She adds that although on 8 March "various propaganda actions for women have been carried out", they do not take steps to make improvements in this "feminized" area.

Lack of staff, matching with the Foral Institute for Social Assistance (IFAS), replacements from day one, full-time contracts or improvements in occupational health are among the demands of staff. ELA denounces that employers and the Deputy "ignore them".

In addition, he stresses that "they continue to do business with care": "Quotas are increased for users, but that money is not for improvements, but for the pockets of employers".

March 15 in Bilbao
