The Basque Government has imposed "exceptional" minimum services on the indefinite strike of gardeners in Vitoria-Gasteiz to "ensure the maintenance of essential services". Enviser is the company outsourced by the City of Vitoria-Gasteiz for the maintenance of gardens and green areas.
Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council requested the establishment of minimum services, but Enviser workers, who started an indefinite strike on March 26 , rejected this possibility because they believe that what they offer is not "essential service."
In setting them up, the Department of Economy, Labour and Employment has taken into account the legitimate right to strike, which began more than 80 days ago , and two reportsfrom the Vitoria-Gasteiz Traffic and Fire Department warning of the "danger of some green areas and the current situation of some urban roads".
Fires
The report of the Chief Inspector of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Fire Department warns of the risk of fires due to the proliferation of grass after spring rains and the arrival of summer, which, when this vegetation dries up, becomes a highly flammable fuel capable of rapidly spreading fires.
Visibility
On the other hand, according to a report by the City Traffic Service, vegetation has reached a high height in various parts of the city, affecting the visibility of signs and traffic lights, as well as other road users, which creates danger situations.
In addition, the document states that vegetation is invading sidewalks and other pedestrian roads, creating unsafe areas and hindering pedestrian transit.
Order to cut off the six big parks.
In this way, and immediately after the order on minimum services, which is expected to take place today, Enviser will have to do certain work on the conservation of green areas and trees.
Thus, it has been orderedthatthe plants of the six major parks of the city (Aranbizkarra, Arriaga, Cathedral, Florida, North Park and St. Martin) be cut, collected and removed, and that the same work be done in a perimeter security zone in the other two large parks (Judizmendi and El Prado) and in the other green areas of the city.
Workers shall also be obliged to cut grass at pedestrian steps, shelters and roundaboutswith sufficient distance to allow the sight of both drivers and pedestrians, and to remove grass and prune branches so as not to prevent the sight of vertical signs and traffic lights.
They have also ordered the collection of branches that have fallen as a result of storms that occupy sidewalks and pedestrian passes and prevent the sight of pedestrians and vehicles; and the cleaning, collection and removalof debris, garbage and excrement, including the emptying of trash cans in the eight large parks.
