The strikes organized by the workers of the bus company Avanza Gipuzkoa have begun
The first strike days have begun this weekend and will continue on the following weekends.
The works council of the bus company Avanza started the strike this weekend . The committee calls on the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa to "involve itself in giving a way out" of the labour dispute in order to "improve working conditions and provide an adequate quality service to the citizens".
The Committee, composed of ELA, LAB and Aurrera, has denounced that "the agreement provides for 1,650 driving hours per year compared to 1,870 hours per year for workers", an increase of 200 hours.
The stops will take place every weekend on the lines of Deba Valley, Donostia-Bilbao, Vitoria-San Sebastián, Vitoria-Bilbao and all those connected to Bilbao Airport (Donostia-Loiu, Arrasate-Loiu and Vitoria-Loiu).
First weekend of strike
This weekend began the first day of strike at Loiu airport. The workers have declared that they have been forced to make these stops. We are calling for improvements that we believe are necessary for the company. "
At the same time, they denounce the passivity of the company and the Provincial Council to resolve the situation: "Neither the Council nor the company want negotiations. They pass the ball of the problem on to each other.
