Villaves' strike continues because there has been no progress even with the mediation of the Commonwealth
The works council of TCC, which is responsible for urban transport in Pamplona, announced yesterday that it will continue the strike with the management of the company yesterday and with the mediation of the Commonwealth of the Region of Pamplona, after 12 hours of negotiation without "real progress", so that the workers will demonstrate this Saturday at 6:30 p.m.from the Labrit Hill to the Navarre Parliament.
According to union representatives, the company's proposals have been "disrespectful" and TCC has offered "miserable conditions" in the negotiations.He has complained that the company intends to postpone the start of the night allowanceto 23:00, even though the Workers' Statute recognizes it from 22:00. Although the bonus doubles from 22:00 to 23:00 and reaches 1.06 euros, the proposed increase from 23:00 to 06:00 is 0.17 euros, 5%, which is an 'insult' to workers' representatives.
Inthe case of leave due to serious common illness, the company is said to propose to pay 85% of the salary from day one, but "in certain diseases of their choice, which are the most unusual", which the staff committee considers to be "defenceless".
"After 12 hours of negotiation, there's nothing real about the workers. Just smoke," the workers report, "After several days of strikes and mobilizations, they want to stop us by offering us some breadcrumbs. But what we're asking is not excessive: it's fair, legal and necessary."
That is why he has announced that the strike will continue and called for further pressure on the streets: "We will continue to be stronger and more united. Without pressure there is no negotiation, and without dignity there is no future."
