They demand “minimum working and economic conditions, comparable to those of professional male competition”
The umpires and assistants of the Women’s First Division rise and go on strike, after unanimously deciding this Thursday not to conduct any game of this championship in the “current conditions of uncertainty about their employment and economic situation”.
«In the context of a new professional competition, we believe that women’s arbitration should have minimum conditions for the exercise of our activity. It is inconceivable that the arbitration institute is the only thing that is left out of a growth that we deem as fair as necessary,” the collegiate members communicate.
The umpires assure that “they want to serve football in the best possible way” and they understand that this is “necessary because they have minimal working conditions, comparable to those of the professional men’s league umpiring system.”
According to him, this means “that we can have assimilable working conditions that allow us to spend the necessary time essential to participate in a professional competition.” “We look forward to getting back on the playing fields, but under the right conditions,” they conclude.
