The centers of social initiative are called to strike tomorrow before the “inmobility” of the employers

ELA, Steilas, CCOO, LAB and UGT have called a strike day in the educational centers of social initiative in the CAV for tomorrow, April 25th with the aim of denouncing that the negotiation of the new agreement is blocked.

before what they call “employer immobility”, the unions continue with mobilizations. As reported through a joint note, in the 13 meetings held to negotiate the new agreement “the employers have not shown no will of negotiation”. Moreover, the centrals have denounced that they have even raised “kickbacks” regarding some of the contents obtained in the previous agreement.

These are the main claims unions: measures to alleviate workloads, improvements for the most feminized and precarious sectors, wage increases based on the CPI, measures to maintain jobs and improvements for Vocational Training. The Basque language plans, the equality plans and the plans to address occupational health are also in the crosshairs of the unions.

Several days before announcing the day of the strike, they presented a letter to the employers represented at the negotiating table, Kristau Eskola and AICE-IZEA, in which the unions expressed their willingness to “reach consensus” and “to negotiate and They invited them to make a proposal with content” in order to advance in the negotiation of the agreement, which affects 9,000 workers.

In this sense, the same sources have indicated that, today, “there has been no movement or response” from the employers, and they have not received “any proposal”.

Thus, faced with “the immobility and the lack” of proposals from the employers, the unions have reaffirmed the need to go on strike and have called on the workers of the sector to support the strike and to participate in the demonstration in Bilbaowhich will leave at 11:00 a.m. from Gran Vía 85 and end in the Plaza de Arriaga.

LAB sees “basis” for a deal

The Department of Education of the Basque Government has announced last week that it will convene “as soon as possible” the unions of the sector in search of a consensus, after LAB considered that there is “a basis” to achieve a agreement about working conditions.

LAB then reported in a statement that in recent weeks they had held talks with the Department of Education in which, in their opinion, “the basis for an agreement that improves the working conditions” of educational staff has been laid.
