Taking into account “the latest movements”, the union has stated that it is not “optimistic” about this meeting. Therefore, she believes that “it becomes even more necessary for us Ertzainas to demonstrate in Bilbao on the 16th.”
The Union Euspel has announced that the Security department of the Basque government called you up for the next one Thursday to a meeting to continue negotiations on the Ertzaintza’s working conditions, a call about which the union is not ‘optimistic’. For this reason, he has called for the October 16 demonstration in Bilbao to “make it clear that they want a minimum agreement that only serves to falsely end the labor dispute.”
Among his “negotiation commitments”, Euspel has reiterated that, after “more than a decade of loss of purchasing power, with 44 out of 50 Basque police officers having a higher salary than the ertzainas”, “a salary equalization” is necessary. the regional police “top that list”, as it is the one with “the greatest powers in all of Euskadi and the least paid”.
Regarding the Regulatory Agreement, Euspel considers it necessary to “renew it point by point, without ignoring any of them”, based on both the agreement platform and the proposals sent to them through the Ertzainas and Lucha platform.
For both agreements, he warned, “it is essential that the ministry stops saving the 45 million that is now needed from the Ertzaintza budget, because we do not know where.”
Finally, he criticized the fact that the Security Council informed him that a maximum of two representatives of the union would be allowed to attend the meeting and assured that he would involve in the negotiations “whoever he deems necessary, just as the ministry does” .
