The ELA union warns that the contingency rate in Osakidetza and Education will remain above 40%, while the law states the goal is to lower it to 8%.
The trade union ELA has denounced that the public labor supply (OPE) of 8,764 places announced by the Basque government “does not comply with the Iceta law or the mandate of Europe” and criticized the “high temporary rates” in Osakidetza and Education, “more than 40%”, compared to the municipalities, which “will approach the 8% target”.
In addition, it has demanded that the executive act with “transparency” and are responsible for all consolidable places.
The heads of ELA Igor Eizagirre, Miren Zubizarreta and Esther Saavedra have offered a press conference in San Sebastián, deploring that “the problem of temporary employment of public sector workers will continue without a solution in the Basque Autonomous Region”.
For example, they pointed out that the public employment offer of 8,764 places announced by the Basque government “temporary work will only be able to reduce by a maximum of 12% in the general administration” and, however, in sectors with a larger workforce such as Osakidetza or education “the very high percentages of temporary employment and the number of places offered is so scarce that temporary work will amount to more than 40%”.
“Despite the fact that the Minister of Public Administration and Self-Government, Olatz Garamendi, confirms that the Basque government has offered all the functions it could offer in the general administration, the general photo shows the opposite,” they assured, while insisting pointed out that the executive “will not comply with the provisions of the Iceta law and the Court of Justice of the European Union to reduce temporary work to 8%, that is, it will not provide all the places that the law allows, despite being obliged to do so”.
Those responsible for ELA recalled that the law imposes an obligation to “stabilize all positions temporarily and continuously occupied for at least three years” and pointed out that the Basque government “It has refused to hand over the information on the number of jobs in that situation to the unions, despite repeated requests”
According to him, this is “a serious lack of transparency”, which also shows “an inconsistency between the places advertised and the number of temporary workers”. In this sense, referring to data provided by the Basque government itself, in education there are “more than 9,947 temporary workers who have been working as temporary workers for more than three years; in Osakidetza there are 14,677 and in the general administration 3,300”.
“If we compare this data with the number of places offered, it is clear that not all positions that could do that will be consolidated and only a few will stabilize,” they emphasized.
