Workers have been out of work for five years, according to the trade unions called LAB, UGT, CCOO and ESK. What they are asking is that the conditions applying to Osakidetza staff should also be applied.

Cleaning workers subcontracted by Osakidetza will take a week-long strike from Monday to Sunday from 27 February to 5 March. Approximately 2,500 workers are on strike.

The first day at Cruces Hospital there have been incidents, according to LAB.

According to the convening trade unions, LAB, UGT, CCOO and ESK do not call for "going beyond the approval". In other words, they want the same conditions as non-outsourced staff: they demand access to different career development calls; that the vacancy coverage system be "fairer"; that they have the right to partial retirement linked to the relay contract; and that Osakidetza staff have the permits and licenses that they have recognised.

Negotiations for the new labour agreement began in 2018, but they say it is blocked. Trade unions denounce that companies have positioned themselves "in a comfortable position" and attribute their responsibility to the leadership of Osakidetza. "They do not want to agree anything with the trade unions, except with the prior approval of the Osakidetza leadership."
