The AMPA federations of these centers are demanding that the union centers reach an agreement “just as was reached with the ikastolas.” Likewise, they denounce that “the conflict is no longer labor-related” and has become completely “political.”
Fapae, Feguiapa, Fapacne, Bidelagun, all federations of AMPAs representing the majority of the families of the coordinated network of social initiative centers of Euskadi (they represent 30% of the families of the Basque education system) have demanded that the strikes for this week (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) and for February 19 and 20 be called off “immediately”.
In a statement, they asked the unions not to turn their daughters and sons into ‘ hostages of a political conflictas in their opinion it is no longer a labor dispute”, and they urge them to reach an agreement “as reached with the ikastolas”. “As far as we know, the conditions offered are the same”, have pointed out.
Employers and unions met on Friday without reaching an agreement, after which the unions ELA, LAB, CCOO, UGT and Steilas decided to maintain the five-day strike. As they explained, “so far” they have decided to keep a low profile, “letting the parties do their work so as not to escalate the situation and to resolve the conflict “as quickly as possible.”
At the same time, they have indicated that they want the unions to be ‘aware of the consequences’ Social impact they generate and the future consequences in society.” According to them, the strikes “endanger” both the population and the population feasibility of some centers that many families are betting on, like their own jobs and even more as we now enter the pre-registration period.
In addition, families have expressed support for the Joint Social Initiative Centers because they are the ones they have chosen to educate our sons and daughters. “We believe this can exist. a part of the educational community that strives for the disappearance of this educational model and this only leads us to lose some of the wealth that our education system has. Euskadi’s education system,” they added.
