Vitoria gardeners criticize the "irresponsible" attitude of the company and the City Council to end the strike
They have warned that "there is no end to the conflict" and have begun to collect signatures from citizens supporting their labour claims.
ELA, ESK and LAB have criticized the fact that Enviser, the contracting company for the park and garden maintenance service in Vitoria-Gasteiz, and the City Council of Vitoria-Gasteiz are acting "irresponsibly" to improve their working conditions. It has already been more than 100 days since the strike began, and there seems to be no attempt to stop it.
The complaint was made on Thursday at noon in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca, while collecting signatures from citizens supporting their claims.
The trade unions have warned that 'the end of the conflict is not visible in the face of the latest offer made by the Basque Government' and have criticised 'with concern' the way in which the minimum services established by the executive are being used.
As they have explained, "they want the conflict to be resolved by imposing abusive minimum services instead of seeking a solution that really puts an end to the conflict," and the gardeners "have decided to continue the strike until a decent agreement is reached."
"The company, which owns an investment fund operating from Luxembourg, is in no hurry to resolve the conflict and the City Council, chaired by Councilwoman Beatriz Artolazabal, instead of defending the interests of the Vitorians, both workers and citizens affected by the strike," they have criticized.
After denouncing that their salaries are "very low" and that they will continue to stand "in the face of the job insecurity they suffer", they have thanked the citizens for their support and called on Turner and the City Council to "assume responsibility for returning to normal and overcoming the precarious conditions of the hired workers".
