However, they acknowledge that there have been ‘movements’ by employers, forced by work stoppages, but ‘there has been neither real negotiation nor proposals put forward’.
On the other hand, they have asked the Ministry of Education of the Basque government to intervene to channel the conflict, since “it is not just an agent and has a lot to say about the working conditions of these staff.”
Their main demands include easing workloads, measures to improve feminized and precarious sectors, salary increases to guarantee the CPI and measures to preserve jobs.
