UGT will “only” sign a new agreement for nursing homes in Gipuzkoa, which considers a 6.5% salary increase for this year and could rise to 13.5% until 2024, although it will be of limited effectiveness by counting of this union with only 9% of the representation of female workers.
This union minority’s agreement with the majority of employers in the sector has been criticized by ELA, the majority union with 60% representation, which labeled it “anti-democratic”, and also by LAB, which, with almost 20%, has described it as “very considered serious.
In a statement released today, after the last negotiating table meeting was held in Donostia-San Sebastián, UGT announced that it will sign the agreement “out of responsibility” because it means “ensuring decent working conditions for a highly feminised sector” .
The head of UGT Marili Granado It has warned that the agreement, which will be signed by a minority, will lead to a limited-effectiveness agreement, requiring each employee to declare her willingness to join her company so that the raises she is considering are applied to her. .

THE A For his part, he has described the agreement reached by the UGT as “undemocratic” because, as he denounced in a note, “turning its back” on more than 90% of the workforce and “will only serve to the pockets of employers”.
That power plant’s stance is turning its back on “the struggle that has been waged for more than four years,” with a total of 262 strike days, ELA has made clear, saying the agreement “will lead to an increase in the pay gap respecting the masculine sectors and even between the companies in the sector”.

LABORATORY He has pointed out that “what happened at the negotiating table” is very serious and has asked the provincial institution not to support it, as it is tantamount to “continuing to laugh at working women after “hundreds of days of strike”.
What was presented at the negotiating table today was “inadequate,” LAB has indicated, which has assured its representatives have expressed their intention to “counter-propose” in line with what the business side had suggested, but it “has no no given option to do so and has opened the door to the signing of an agreement of limited effectiveness” with UGT.
