ELA, LAB, Steilas, ESK, Etxalde and Hiru will file a lawsuit against Confebask if he does not negotiate his own minimum wage
Confebask has registered a conciliation request to "force employers to negotiate" on the minimum wage for the Basque Country and has asked the Basque Government to act as a mediator in the conflict.
The unions sign the conciliation petition.
ELA, LAB, Steilas, ESK, Etxalde and Hiru have registered a conciliation request with Confebask to "force employers to negotiate on the minimum wage for the Basque Country" and have asked the Basque Government to act as a mediator in the conflict.
These unions have stated that 'employers must assume their responsibility and, as thousands of workers demand, start negotiating their own minimum wage '.
"The minimum wage is a fundamental instrument for combating poverty, limiting precariousness, distributing wealth more fairly and reducing wage gaps," they said.
To this end, the trade unions have proposed an "inter-professional agreement", but Confebask and CEN (and in Navarre, as well as CCOO and UGT) have refused to participate.
On the other hand, they have proposed a People's Legislative Initiative with the aim of amending the Workers' Statute so that the Autonomous Communities can establish their own minimum wage, and to this end they have collected 138,495 signatures which 'demand' political parties, Parliament and employers.
However, they have denounced that Confebask "has rejected negotiation and dialogue, and therefore, taking advantage of the legitimacy given to us by the 138,495 signatures , we have taken the first legal step to demand that Confebask sit at the negotiating table ".
Thus, the trade unions have taken the "first step of collective conflict"and will question the employers' willingness to negotiate when registering the conciliation request.
Furthermore, they have called on the Basque Government to 'take another step', 'mediate reconciliation' and 'sit down and negotiate employers to do everything in their power'.
