Workers at the Gipuzkoa Advance have called off the weekend strike
The works council has lamented that the "minimum conditions" for workers' right to strike are not met.
The works council of Gipuzkoa Avanza has announced that it has called offthe indefinite strike that began a month ago, considering that the "minimum conditions" for workers to exercise their right to strike are not met.
At a press conference held at the bus station in Donostia-San Sebastián, trade union representatives have denounced the company's attitude andthe "ignorant" by the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa, as well as the systematic failure to comply with the minimum services established by the Basque Government.
According to the Commission, Avanza does not respect the decisions of the Labour Inspectorate, nor does it reduce the temporary nature of the workforce, which has more than 230 permanent workers and 100 temporary workers, without a clear recruitment criterion.
The majority unions (ELA, Aurrera and LAB) have warned that they are considering calling another indefinite strike from October onwards if their demands are not met, including limiting the use of overtime, reducing working hours and renovating vehicles that they consider to be ruinous.
Fear of dismissal
"No one listens to us, "said ELA representative Cristóbal Argaña, who also criticized the factthat during the weekend stops "the Council announced special night services" , "again ignoring the right to strike."
For his part, the representative of the Pre-War, Joseba, has denounced that "the company uses all these people as it pleases", so that under these conditions "they have not been able to strike because they risked not returning to work".
