The first 24-hour strike will take place on December 21 to denounce that Ministers Montero and Díaz have left them “forgotten”
After months and months of threats, the Labor Inspectorate has carried out its order: they will declare the first general strike in Spain’s history before the end of the year to denounce that the Minister of Finance and Public Functions, María Jesús Montero, and the of Labour, Yolanda Díaz, they have left “forgotten”. It will be a 24 hour strike which will call all employees of the organization from all centers nationwide irrespective of level or category for any reason from the lowest scale such as assistants, administrators will be seconded to the higher level where the sub-inspectors and inspectors, be they civil servants or workers, permanent or interim.
The first 24-hour strike will take place on December 21, but will be repeated on January 25 and February 22 if the precarious situation they denounce does not change, according to a statement sent to the media by the five calling unions: CC OO , CIG, SITSS, SISLASS and USESS. Four other workers’ organizations, including the UGT and CSIF, are waiting until the end of the year to decide whether to join these strikes.
The unions accuse the government of not adhering to “everything that has been agreed” in the pact signed with them at the negotiating table a year and a half ago (on July 7, 2021), in which a new inspection model is configured and in which “the measures that alleviate the numerous problems faced by the Labor Inspectorate and Social Security, the intensity of which is increasing day by day,” the letter said.
In particular, they denounce “severe staff shortages, lack of professional career and work horizon contributing to the decapitalization of staff, lack of recognition and dignity of the functions performed in each of the functions of the inspectorate with a relationship of obsolete and unfair jobs, all this together with a greater workload and its complexity, a shortage of technical and material resources…»
“The shortcomings of the Inspectorate are more serious and palpable every day, in parallel, the dialogue is now non-existent,” warn the unions, who consider it “irresponsible to let the organization and its staff down in such a way” and demand ” urgent solutions.”
