Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The cleaning staff of the Osakidetza subcontractors have obtained approval with their staff after almost 100 days of strike. The signatories are LAB, UGT, CCOO and ESK and ELA shows their disagreement. The struggle has lasted for over five years, with over 50 meetings in total.

In addition to the approval, LAB explains that the agreement contains other improvements: “Recognition of career levels that receive delays since 2021, guarantee of access to future career calls, acquisition of relay contracts, objective regulation for vacancy awards..”

Trade unions have denounced strikes, demands and difficulties in negotiating, and have explained that they did not think “so many obstacles”. Examples have been the blockade of the awarded companies led by Garbialdi and Osakidetza, the excessive minimum services, the suffocating presence of the police and dozens of identifications. However, LAB spokesmen have defined the cleaners' struggle as an "example" and have stressed that the fight is worth it.

It is time to sign the agreement:

 

ELA in disagreement with the agreement

ELA has not seen with good eyes that the unions LAB, UGT, CCOO and ESK have signed the agreement and have been left out of it, because it considers it “inconsistent” that from the outset defends approval and now approves three-year cuts that perpetuate “worse conditions”. He says they have agreed three years of career pay (2021, 2022 and 2023) and that the other three years outstanding (2012, 2019 and 2020) have left me “out”.
