Vitoria-Gasteiz's gardener strike is four months away from negotiation
Service workers will demonstrate again on Monday to denounce the lack of dialogue and demand their own agreement.
This Saturday, July 26, marks four months since gardening workers in Vitoria-Gasteiz, subcontracted by the company Enviser, began an indefinite strike to defend their own labor agreement, which began on March 26, called by the unions ELA, ESK and LAB, without any significant progress in recent weeks.
For three weeks now, there has been no direct contact between the works council and Enviser, despite the efforts of the workers to resume the dialogue. The ELA union has particularly criticised the role of the Basque Government, which it has accused of failing to mediate effectively in the conflict.
The focus of the debate is on the low wage level of the collective, whose pay is very close to the minimum inter-professional wage. The unions attribute the main responsibility to Enviser. They also stress that the City of Vitoria has a responsibility to find a solution, since it hired this company to maintain parks and gardens.
In the face of the strike, the Basque Government established "extraordinary" minimum services , at the request of the City Council, which, according to the Department of Economy, Labour and Employment, are based on technical reports warning of public safety, fire risks and visibility problems in traffic.
However, the workers reject this measure and insist that their activity cannot be considered essential and therefore reiterate their commitment to the strike until real progress is made.
Next Monday, July 28, gardeners will demonstrate again on the streets of Vitoria-Gasteiz to demand responsibility and willingness to agree from the company.
