According to ELA, the cleaning staff hired full-time at Onkologikoa earn “about EUR 20,000 a year, 25% less than the street cleaning staff in Gipuzkoa”, meaning that “in masculinized sectors doing similar work, they earn EUR 5,000 more a year”.

Today begins the 20-day strike in the cleaning of the Onkologikoa in San Sebastián, called by the ELA union. The 20 employees of the cleaning service subcontractor of the Ilunion company, mostly women, will protest to find a solution to their “precarious situation”.
At last Tuesday’s press conference in San Sebastián, ELA officials explained that the cleaning staff hired full-time at Onkologikoa “earn about 20,000 euros a year, 25% less than the street cleaning staff in Gipuzkoa”, meaning that “in masculinized sectors that work, they earn 5,000 euros more a year because the patriarchal capitalist system does not assign the same economic value to the feminized sectors as to the masculinized ones.”
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”.
