The residences and day centers of Gipuzkoa call for a one-month strike for the "irresponsibility" of the Provincial Council
- The strike will continue from 11 November to 11 December. On 28 November, a meeting will be held between the ELA trade union and the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa. He also warned that "the door to an indefinite strike is not closed" by the trade unions.
Irudia: ELA
Around fourteen months, workers in the residences and day centres of Gipuzkoa will strike a total of 149 days. The strike, convened between 11 November and 11 December, demands conditions that guarantee "quality care for the elderly".
According to Naiz, the head of the ELA trade union, Txomin Lasa, has stated that “they do not close doors” to the possibility of an indefinite strike. Meanwhile, MEP Gipuzkoa, Markel Olano, and MEP Social Policy Adviser, Maite Peña, have announced progress at the negotiating table.
A long-term conflict
A one-month strike was also called in September 2019, and many demonstrations took place in October. But this conflict has been giving way for about two years. ELA left the board of employers and trade unions on the grounds that there were no minimum conditions, but did not abandon negotiations with employers Adegi and Matia 2000 and in March both sides reached an agreement.
The union denounced that the Council, which is now going to take part in the negotiating table, obstructed this initial negotiation.
