Trade unions denounce that the Basque government continues to “negotiate the conditions of the public sector”

The ELA, Lab, Steilas and ESK trade unions have denounced that the Basque government “continues to negotiate” about the employment conditions of the public sector. These trade unions concentrated on Tuesday for the headquarters of the Basque government, in Vitoria-Gastikeiz, before the start of the meeting of the general public sector.

Ela and Lab, who are part of the table, have demanded that the executive “changes their authoritarian attitude and meets the requirements that employees have claimed by strikes and mobilizations.”

The most important claim of the public sector, as explained in a statement, is that working conditions and employment can be determined within the framework of the CADV. “

Ela and Lab have asked the Basque government to tackle and include the agenda of the negotiating table: agreement with the various sectoral tables to restore purchasing power; the stabilization of the thousands of temporary employees (even temporality of less than 8 %); And the approval of measures that make the rejuvenation of the templates possible. They also demand a boost from the health of the profession, the agreement with “real and effective” of Euskaldunization, as well as equality policy.

The trade unions have criticized that the Basque government “refused” to take the requests into account, “claiming that the limits imposed by Madrid do not allow it.”

These trade union organizations have confirmed that “the submission of the Basque government has again been demonstrated to the policy characterized by the Spanish state.”

However, they have added: “Those limits have not prevented the signing of salary increases in Ertzaintza”, something that “demonstrates that the limits that have been imposed are an excuse for applying cuts in the CAV, and that it is a matter of political will to improve the conditions of the public sector.”

These trade unions have indicated that the government agreed to tackle two issues that it had previously included in the agenda: the aid contract and the complementary remuneration decision. With regard to the first point, the executive “has” expressed his willingness to withdraw. “

Ela, Lab, Steilas and Esk have demanded that the Basque government is changing their attitude and to tackle requests from the public sector. “Public administration is the most authoritarian employer. Although the private sector has renewed its collective agreements and has reached the highest rate since 2013, working conditions in the public sector have renewed no more than a decade,” they have criticized.

For all these reasons, they have announced that the mobilizations “will continue to claim that high -quality public services go hand in hand with the improvement of working conditions.”
