The trade union ELA has declared a 20-day strike to clean the Onkologikoa in San Sebastián. The 20 workers of the subcontracted cleaning service of the Ilunion company, mostly women, will start a strike on the 30th to find a solution to their “precarious situation”.
At a press conference in San Sebastián, ELA officials explained that full-time cleaning workers hired from Onkologikoa “earn about 20,000 euros a year, 25% less than street cleaning workers in Gipuzkoa”, meaning that “in masculinized sectors doing similar work, they earn 5,000 euros more per year because the patriarchal capitalist system does not assign the same economic value to the feminized sectors as to the masculinized sectors.”
In view of this, and taking into account the hiring and other working conditions, Onkologikoa’s cleaning staff decided to negotiate a center agreement. However, the company Ilunion, which awarded the cleaning service for the San Sebastian health center, “has rejected ELA’s proposal for a meeting three times”.
