Vitoria. Gardeners will resume negotiations on Monday with the Basque Government. Mediation with mediation
The Department of Labor has called workers and the Enviser company to a meeting this Monday on the 100th day of the strike.
The gardeners in Vitoria-Gasteiz are on their 100th strike day on Monday, just as the Labour Department of the Basque Government has called the two parties to the labour dispute to a meeting.
Rafa Busto, representative of the ELA union, spokesman for the majority union on the works council, said on Friday that they are "very happy to meet with the institutions because so farthe City Council has not wanted to know anything about us. Let's see if the government does more. We're optimistic, but we have to see what happens. "
Wednesday was the last meeting between the workers and Enviser, in Preco, the government's labor dispute management service, and there was no progress.
Wages have once again been the subject of the greatest attention in the negotiation.
According to the unions, the proposal that the company put on the table on Wednesday is almost identical to the one that had previously been put forward.
The company proposed a 3% wage increase for 2025-26-27, and on Wednesday a 4% increase for 2025, 3% for 2026 and 2% for 2027.
In fact, over the next three years, they are demanding an annual increase in gross wages of EUR 1 000 and a monthly risk of EUR 300.
Faced with this blockade, the gardeners support the strike that began on March 26.
