They convene a meeting for the 10th day to guide the case of the residences of Gipuzkoa

  • ELA reports that the CRL is to be held at the headquarters of Donostia of the Labour Relations Council and that it is intended to bring together all parties involved in the conflict.

06 December 2019 - 11:05

The Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, the companies that manage nursing homes in the country and the unions. As reported by the ELA trade union, the representatives of these three agents are invited to participate in the meeting to be held next day 10 at the headquarters of the CRL in Donostia-San Sebastián. The objective is to channel the labor conflict that has conditioned the sector's work activity over the coming months.

“The workers in the residences and day centres have carried out 142 days of strike. In any case, with the aim of dignifying working conditions and improving the low quality of the service", ELA representatives recalled. For its part, the LAB syndicate has also made numerous protests. On 8 November, companies reached an agreement with the UGT trade union to improve workers’ wages, but the rest of the trade unions remembered that this conflict was broader and that we must continue to fight until a proper agreement is reached for the country. Mobilizations have not stopped.

The trade union itself has dealt with the 'formalities' in order to be able to hold a meeting at the CRL. ‘And the head of the CRL in Gipuzkoa will also be present,’ they have announced. In June, for example, at the request of ELA, the Gipuzkoa delegation of the Department of Labour of the Basque Government convened a meeting to which no representative of the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa attended.

The workers' representatives have called on the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa for permanent responsibility. Most of the sites offered in the centres are concerted, and the responsibility of the institution is essential. This has recently been claimed by the relatives of residents of residences, and weekly concentrations are being held in front of the Deputy in demand for a solution. They say that the labour conflict has worsened the service and that it must be resolved as soon as possible. They also consider that, although the conflict is on its way, it is necessary to take deeper measures to improve the service, as they see deficiencies in the care received by their relatives.

ELA representatives reported that they met with these relatives yesterday and agreed on the criticism of the Deputy's position: “We have shared disbelief and amazement.” ELA has proposed to family members to explain it at the end of the meeting on 10. ‘It is important to know at first hand the evolution of the conflict suffered by family members’. According to the union, they have been informed that they will go to the protest.
